Today we did some hot seating. We each became a character from Cinderella and answered questions in character. In our books, we recorded the dialogue using our speech rules.
Maths
In Maths we have been doing column multiplication and learning how to regroup. Another term for regrouping is carrying.

In English, we have started a new unit, Rags to Riches. Today we came into class to discover we'd had a visitor over night! We don't know who it is but he or she left us clues. We have completed a report for our Mini Police.
Here is a copy of Spring term's topic web.
Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about Earthquakes and Volcanoes. We looked at the structure of a volcano and its labelled parts. We enjoyed painting a cross section of a volcano.
Mathematics. We have been using numbers lines and cubes to support us with multiplication.
As part of our topic work, we designed and made our own Roman Soldier shields. We even went into battle!
In Maths we have been using the dienes and place value counters to practise adding a 2 digit number to a 3 digit number. We are becoming familiar with column addition too.
Mrs Smith and Mrs Bell are very excited to welcome you back to school this term. We hope you have had a brilliant summer and you too are excited to be joining Year 3.
