Year 3 children have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. The children worked with a partner using a geoboard on a IPAD. The children described a shape using its properties then their partner tried to draw the shape using their geoboard.

During our PE lessons this term we have been learning how to play cricket. The children have learnt how to field, bat and bowl. Look at class 3 in action…

Year 3 children really enjoyed their maths work this term. Take a look at the children using smarties to find fractions of a discrete set of objects.

What fraction are orange?

If we count all the smarties together then that will give us our denominator

If Mr Dewick eats 5 of your smarties will all the fractions change? Can you explain your thinking?
