Year 3 are still working hard during their swimming lessons and lots of non-swimmers have started being able to swim! The more able swimmers are practising jumping in at the deep end and perfecting their breaststroke and front crawl. Please make sure your child has a full swimming kit, including a hat (which are available at the school office). A big thank you to all the parent helpers who come out in the cold with us every week to walk the children safely to Abbs Cross.

In year 3 we have been working on different poems. We have done shape poems that is a poem that is in a shape. First we had to get ideas. Lets go for the shape of a star. Next think of adjectives similes verbs and adverbs. I will start off with a adjective, booming glitzing. When you’re done make your sentences, now put them in your star and you will have a poem. Or you can do any shape like a heart, circle or square.

In Ash class we have been writing the about the Stone Age, it’s in the olden days . We made lots of notes about it. There are so many things to find out about the Stone Age. The stone age had normal painting and cave paintings. They are very rare . If you see one you are lucky they are very old I mean very old.

Today in Aspen Class the pupils had fun learning how to play our new Ukeleles.
First the children listened to a song called ‘Hey you, what you gonna do?’. Next, they created their own version of the song and accompanied it with their Ukeleles. They then performed it to their friends in class.
They all had so much fun and sounded fabulous.
Here are some photographs of our children enjoying their Christmas lunch.
The Elm Park choir sang their hearts out on Thursday evening alongside Benhurst choir to celebrate the Christmas lights being turned on. They sang beautifully and got everyone in the festive spirit!

In Ash Class we are playing Sum Dog Maths and we are enjoying playing with it. We all have a test when we go on it for the first time. we all have our own person that you can design. You can get digital money by playing the games and sometimes if you play loads of games you get 100 free coins. If the house is open you can go in and get better clothes and decorate your very own garden.

In maths we are doing fractions. We learnt that if you have a pizza and you want half of it you cut the pizza into two pieces and just take one piece. If you want a third of a pizza you cut the pizza into three pieces and take one piece.
Our challenges were mild = easy, spicy = middle, hot = difficult and super hot is very difficult.

Column Method
In year 3 we are doing column method in Maths. Here are the steps. One, put the bigger number up and the small number on the bottom and remember to put an add sign or take away sign next to the sum . Next step put a line under the sum and write the answer under the line . Step 3 put tens units and hundreds and maybe thousands and do the units first to get the right answer. If you are doing adding you can put the numbers any way round you want but if you are doing take away you can not do it as you will get the wrong answer.

In year three our maths is about column addition. If I am talking about subtraction let’s say the numbers 12 and 5. You have hundreds tens units you put 12 on tens and units because the 1 has to go on the ten and the 2 has to go on units. The answer is 17.

In year 3 we are learning about column addition. The first thing we have to remember is to make sure that the numbers are all in line and that you have an add or take away sign. We have to add the units first and then add the tens column. If you have a hundred number and a tens number you have to put the hundreds number in to the hundreds column and and put the tens number in to the tens column.
