Year 3

Year 3 have been playing shape and place value guessing games, going for gold and solving number problems today. Happy Number Day!
 

Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time at a Change4Life tournament. They learnt lots of fun ways to keep fit and practised many of the skills they have been developing in school. The children have brought back great ideas to share with their friends during playtimes.

Year 3 have really been testing their maths to the limit when multiplying and dividing 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We used materials such as base ten and place value counters to help us to understand exactly how to o it. We then moved on to a written method. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 looked great in their spooky costumes. They enjoyed a Halloween movie, colouring and drawing as a treat for all of their hard work. Well done Year 3, have a restful week off!
 

Year 3 enjoyed a lovely autumn walk to spot the human and physical features of Egremont. They jotted them down and picked up litter as they went. We wanted to follow in St. Francis’ footsteps and look after God’s Creation. They did a great job.
