On Wednesday of this week, the Year 3's participated in the Handball Festival at TCS, with a handful of other schools. The leaders were fantastic and organised a wide range of games and activities to engage the children with. The children were excellently behaved and got thoroughly stuck in! Below, you will find some action shots from our sunny afternoon, along with photographs of a Science investigation that both classes conducted; looking at states of matter and how they change. The children made some brilliant predictions and we drew some interesting conclusions.
Children have also continued with their autobiographies this week. They have planned their writing using the timelines they created last week and have begun writing. All children have offered feedback to their peers and have responded to this and feedback from their teacher. Children will have opportunity to share their masterpieces with children from the other class next week. We can't wait!
In Maths, children have been working on their column subtraction. We have applied these skills to calculating the answers to word problems using the acronym; RUCSAC. Make sure you ask your child what it stands for! Next week, we will be brushing up on place value.
