Year 3 have been working hard this week and we have built upon our learning from the previous half-term in our topic of addition and subtraction to begin using column addition and subtraction. The children also did some great problem solving where they used a pyramid scaffold to find numbers that make 15 as well as learning a new really popular game called "Strike it out"!


in english the children have been reading the popular phillip pullman book "the firework maker's daughter" and have been considering a diary account in the role of the main character lila.


for the halloween party we have been preparing some really creative spiders and their webs as decorations for our disco next week!


this week we have also made a start to our new Geography topic that we are doing this term which is india and we have lots of exciting activities planned for the children which we can't wait to do as a class!


Another great week in year 3 this week and well done to all of the children for working so hard. we look forward to a successful second half of term 1!
