Smashing arithmetic in 6SB!

2nd November 2023Miss Blackham

6SB are determined to achieve 40/40 on their arithmetic papers. They are loving moving their names on our interactive display! Our pledge is to ensure EVERYONE gets into the blue circle which is 30+ marks by February half term! Ask your children every Thursday what score they have achieved in their weekly test!

We’re going on a square hunt

30th October 2023Mrs Price

In maths today we learnt about squares and their properties. We learnt the difference between curved and straight as well as side and vertex.

The children then went to see if they could find other squares. We didn’t realise that we had so many squares in our classroom!

Year 3 Glow Day Crew, Maths and Science

6th October 2023Mrs Graves

We had great day glowing today!

In crew we were thinking about “What makes me glow” and we had some great suggestions from being with family, to doing well at sport.

We enjoyed some glow maths, with a game of ‘Bin-glow’ and a Glowing Maths Facts pair work challenge, where we tested what we have learnt about place value over the last few weeks.

After a lovely lunch, we worked as scientists and investigated light and darkness – what are light sources and what is darkness. Did you know, the moon is NOT a light source! We then conducted our own scientific experiments, investigating whether temperature affects how brightly a glow stick glows, what does light look like when broken down into its separate colours and how does tonic water glow in the dark.
