This week’s Maths homework is one simple addition problem… however, in class we’ve been challenging the children to come up with different ways of solving the problem. Here are 6 we came up with in class. The children can use these methods or come up with their own.

As adults we know that sometimes an addition problem (in the supermarket for example) needs us to do column addition, but sometimes a problem like 250 + 10 merely needs us to jump 10 on a number line. This is what we’re trying to practise. How many methods can we think of, and which is the best for this particular problem!

We’re always available to chat on the Year 3 email if you have any problems with the homework or any set.

Welcome back everyone! Have a look at the all the learning we’ve got in store for this half term. On the second page you’ll find some exciting activities you can do at home linked to our Science topic of ‘light’.

On the first few days back after half term we’ll be making our Stone Age roundhouses.

Please could we have any nice thick bits of card about A4 sized so the children have something to create their roundhouses on.

If you have any extra we’d really appreciate this too. Any card from packaging boxes is perfect.

On a Wednesday afternoon we are lucky to have a music lesson with Mr Baker who has been working on our rhythm when using instruments. In our composition, different instruments have to play on different beats so you need to make sure you concentrate on counting to make sure you’re in time. See if you can spot our concentrating faces in our pictures!

Wow – what a fantastic day we had at New Barn. Even the drizzle we had couldn’t dampen our excitement!

We churned our own butter, milled our own flour from grain and even created our own medicine to heal cuts and grazes.

We learned so much about this fascinating time in history!

Thank you to those who were able to join us today for our ‘Stay and… Spell’ session. We really enjoyed seeing you all.

We spoke about the spellings that go home weekly for your child to learn and how we can support them to make them fun and memorable! Please find some exciting ideas below…

An exciting opportunity to meet Joanna Nadin – author of ‘The Worst Class in the World’ at PiPs cafe on the Great Field, Poundbury. See the poster below for more information. 

He is affectionately known as the ‘Eagle Man’ in Year 3 but he’s actually called Martin, he’s from the amazing Xtreme Falconry and last Thursday he wowed us all with some amazing birds of prey.

Hopefully, Meadow 3 have been chatting non-stop about the experience and all the amazing eagle facts that they learned on the day. We’re looking forward to reading the amazing fact sheet that they are currently creating!

This is our first Home Learning Leaflet for the year. It gives you an overview of what we’ll be learning up until half term. It also has amazing ideas for extra learning that you can be doing at home. We’re asking for all home learning to be in school for a sharing session on 14th October 2022.
