This week in maths - shape

This week in maths we will be looking at 2D and 3D shapes.

 Here is a fun way to remember 3d shapes. Can you tell me the names of any others?





Have a go at this game for a reminder of all the 2D shapes you know.

What's the difference?

Today we have done some follow up work on our school trip to Middleton. 
We have compared the locations of where we live and Middleton.  Can you remember what we have found out?  What is similar and what is different?  Where would you rather live and why?

Practise all kinds of maths!

Here is a useful link that we have been using in our maths lessons to practise all kinds of areas of maths including times tables, addition and subtraction, and number sequences and patterns.

Well done Class 3NS!

A big well done to Class 3NS who lead our assembly this week.  We thought you all did very well, spoke very clearly and we particularly enjoyed your cheer leading!

This will prepare all of the children in Year 3 over the coming weeks, as we talk about the need to say sorry and to forgive others, as we prepare to make our Sacrament of Confession for the first time.

Art

As part of our Art topic this term we are exploring and creating relationship portraits.

We have used a wooden artists mannequin to help us to draw a person.

We have also used landscape work from famous artists to understand how to create a background.


 
Who will you include in your relationship portrait, what will you be doing and what will be your background?
