Celebrating The Ancient Egyptians.

Year 3 have throughly enjoyed their learning surrounding the Ancient Egyptians. We have emersed ourselves in their culture and the legacy they left behind. 

Here are a few images sharing our learning. 

Mathematics.   Number: exploring Multiplication and Division.

We have been investigating the relationship between multiplication and division. 

• Multiplication - equal groups
• Multiplication using the symbol
• Using arrays
• 2 / 5 / 10 / 3    times-table
• Make equal groups - sharing
• Make equal groups - grouping
• Multiply by 2 / 5 / 10 / 3 
• Divide by 2 / 5 / 10 / 3 

Preparing for Advent

Our preparations have begun...

Baptism Assembly.

On Wednesday 24th November we presented our class assembly to the school community. We shared our learning on The Sacrament of Baptism. All our children were nervous but they preformed beautifully. We had wonderfully loud voices, fantastic acting and respectful prayers. Well done!

Maths -   Exploring column subtraction.

We have been challenged by our column subtraction learning but we have enjoyed the challenge! 

It has taken lots of practical exchanging and detailed discussion but we are at last being successful and it feel great!

Mia gave a great response to the key learning of exchanging, she said..."exchange is taking one ten and exchanging this for ten ones"  

Ancient Egyptian Learning

Adam has visited Egypt during the half term. He kindly brought in to school lots of artefacts to share with us. His holiday scrap book held some fantastic experiences. We were amazed by the photographs of the pyramids and statues. 

Adam had a surprise for everyone...we brought back a named bookmark for all his class mates made from papyrus. 

Danum Gallery, Library and Museum.

Year 3 had a fabulous visit to the recently opened museum and library. 

Our Egyptian Workshop was great fun. We explored many aspects of Egyptian life; artefacts, Gods, mummification and hieroglyphs. We learnt so many new facts.

We also explored the fantastic museum space. Galleries showing Doncaster life throughout past times and the awesome steam locomotives. We really had a memorable day.  4.10.21

Cake Sale.    24.9.21

Well done everyone!  We raised £150!

It was an exciting day and we all had so much fun and raised a wonderful amount of money for school.

Thank you parents for your kind donations. Year 3 all enjoyed serving cakes to Early Years, Key Stage 1 and 2 children. After the bake sale we used our Maths lesson to count all the money raised. Our learning objective was to count in 50's so it was perfect to count all the 50p we had collected.
