Year 3 Blog 16.9.22 "Good leaders must first become good servants.” – Robert Greenleaf

What a successful week we have had! It has absolutely flown by which only shows how we have got our heads down, and immersed ourselves in our learning. This week we have been exploring fables and the teachings within these stories. We had great fun on Wednesday as we closed our eyes and listened only to a video. We found that hat we expect might happen, not always happens and that there is a special teaching hidden in every fable.

In maths this week we have been focusing on adding three addends together and finding the answer. We have been working with adding numbers to 10 and we are now able to represent these equations on ten frames, part/whole models and bar models. The children have really gained confidence in sharing their reasoning/ how they got to their answer. They clearly have a solid knowledge on doubles and number bonds!

During RE this week we have been reminding ourselves of the creation story. Next week we are going to use our creative skills to re-tell this bible story. Miss Russell is ready with the green screen and we have a feeling that we have some budding performers!

Each Wednesday we take some time out of our day and pay a visit to our school chapel. This week we thought about our gifts and how we can use them to help others. The children listened beautifully to the Gospel reading, showing great reverence!

Certificates:

This week we have two FOCUSED COOPER CRABS!
