Month: November 2022

We are so proud of Meadow 3’s maths today. We learned some new vocabulary for Maths which helped us to better understand which part of an addition sum we’re thinking of when we’re discussing our Maths.

We had a wonderful day making our roundhouses on Monday. It was incredibly messy but it was really interesting trying to work out how to create the roundhouses with just the resources we had.

We’re so excited to be taking part in the walk-a-thon on Friday! Please remember that everyone will need to be in school uniform but wearing some comfortable trainers. If you have a yellow or spotty accessory to support Children In Need you can also wear this too.

Please give what sponsorship money you can, we will collect this in classrooms on the day.

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.
