Year 3- Santa Dash!

The children had a fantastic time taking part in the Santa Dash this week. Dressed in their festive hats, they ran the length of the playground as fast as they could, eagerly trying to catch one of Santa’s elves. Laughter and excitement filled the air as everyone gave it their all, showing great enthusiasm and teamwork. It was a joyful, energetic activity that truly captured the festive spirit.

Mastering Multiplication in Year 4

 This Halfterm in Year 4 we showed fantastic Resourcefulness using counters to explore arrays and multiplication. Working with reciprocity in pairs, the children practiced solving complex equations like 7 x 3 being Reflective and splitting them into smaller groups, like 5 x 3 add 2 x 3 This smart strategy, used prior knowledge, and helped build strong Resilience for tackling any multiplication problem they face.

"I need to remember this, I can use my 2 times and 5 times tables to help me answe my 3 times tables!" - Elsie, Elm

"I really like finding the links between my tables. My teacher showed me that if I double the 3 times table, I get 6, and if I treble it, I get 9." Munsha, WIillow 

"My favorite math trick is checking my 9 times table. I noticed that if you add the two factors of the answer together, they always equal 9." - Kylie, Maple

Year 3 Certificates

It has been an excellent week in Year 3 and the children have been working hard to make progress in their learning.

         Let's look at the story of this week...

In Literacy, the children were introduced to their new story for the rest of the Autumn term, 'How to Live Forever.' The children began by using their inference skills to predict what might happen in the story. They then read the story, before planning and writing their own diary entries as one of the characters. It certainly has been a very busy week, well done everyone!

In Maths, the children have completed an arithmetic, reasoning and end of unit test for their addition and subtraction unit. This has allowed the children to demonstrate the progress they have made across this term. The hard work has really started to pay off! Well done Year 3!

Finally, the children have performed in their Christmas Celebration. The Year 3 team are immensely proud of the children's hard work in learning the lines, choreography and songs in such a short period of time. They were fantastic! 

This weeks certificate winners are...

Star Writer - Jack, Isaam and Amaya

4R's - Kateryna, Aryan and Levi

Teacher Happy - Damian and Cedar Class
