Y3 Rescheduled parent information session and Maths information

This week the children have planned a story where Om (the character from 'The Stone Age Boy') comes to visit the boy in the modern day. They had to plan three things to show and tell her. We started the week by using drama to think of our ideas, before writing them down. Over the last couple of days the children have written these pieces of work. 

In Maths we have been using the bar model. Bar modelling is a strategy used by children to visualise mathematical concepts and solve problems. The bar model method is pictorial – children draw bars to represent objects or quantities. 

Below are some examples of how we use the bar model. 

Sorry about the last minute cancellation of the parent information session. This will now happen this coming Wednesday (22nd) in the hall at 9am. I will be discussing Power Maths in further and explaining about the next unit of work.

Thank you, Mrs Thorpe
