Spanish Day in Year 3

What a fun-filled day we've had today! It started with a zoom Spanish lesson with Seniora Buckley. We played Simon Dice (Simon Says) and learned a Halloween song in Spanish. We also learned flamenco dance. We found out lots of interesting facts about Spain and created a fact file. Finally, we pretended we were on holiday in Spain and wrote postcards from Spain.


World Space Week in Year 3

Year 3 children have had lots of fun learning about phases of the Moon. We conducted an experiment to see how the light affects the shape of the Moon we see as it travels around the Earth. We used a torch to represent the Sun, a small ball to represent the Moon and we had one person in the middle to represent the Earth. 


Marvellous Maths in Year 3

Year 3 used diced to make 3 digit numbers. They revised and improved their place value knowledge.

Can you make a 3 digit number?

Can you recognise Hundreds, Tens and Ones?

What is the value of the 3 in the number 435?

What is the value of 5 in the number 546?

Welcome to Year 3

What a fantastic start we have had to the new school year. We've had a mysterious balloon arrive in the bushes in Year 3 and a very excited class to be back with their friends learning new and exciting topic. We're looking forward to finding out about volcanoes, travelling around the world, reading Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and investigating forces in action.

Dylan and Elliot's Tour of Tameside

Dylan and Elliot have done lots of walking whilst they have been off school and have completed the Tour of Tameside 7 mile challenge. On their walks they have been Geocaching where they have searched for hidden 'caches' using GPS coordinates. One of the caches they found was in an old WW2 bunker! How cool is that! What a fantastic achievement boys, well done!
