Well, it certainly has been a busy day in Year 3.  In maths today, the children were representing numbers to a 1000.  To shows this, they were using dienes sticks and place value counters.  In science, the children conducted an experiment. They tested how different liquids affect the size of a gummy bear. We discussed what a fair test is and they made predictions about what they thought would happen. 

Thank you to everyone who came to the Year 3 parent meeting today.  Below are the class books that we will be reading and learning about this year. 

 Well, what a fantatsic first week it has been in Year 3.  We are so proud of the children for making excellent choices. Please keep it up Year 3.  Take a look at some of their learning. 

 Today in Science, we investigated how shadows change throughout the day. At 9:30am, 11:15am and 2:00pm, we went outside to observe how the position of the Sun affected the size and direction of our shadows. The children worked with a partner, using chalk to draw around each other's shadows at each time so they could compare the changes. We discovered that as the Sun moves across the sky, our shadows change in both length and direction, helping us understand how sunlight creates shadows.

Earlier this week, our we all took part in Sports Day and what a fantastic event it was!  The children showed great enthusiasm, determination, and teamwork as they competed in a range of activities and events. It was wonderful to see everyone encouraging one another, trying their best, and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship throughout the day.  We are proud of all the children for their positive attitudes and effort. Thank you to the families who came along to support and cheer them on, helping to make the afternoon memorable. Take a look at some photos of the children in action!
