Trailblazer

During our first week in Year 3, we launched our trailblazer topic: The Ocean. As a class, we investigated (using fact files, atlases and videos) what is the ocean and how we can protect it. The children enjoyed creating their own sea creatures using collage, researching different animals found in the ocean and using musical instruments to create different sounds you might hear at the beach.

Marvellous Maths

As mathematicians, we have been using our known number facts to bridge 100. We have looked at a range of strategies and representations (including dienes, part whole models, bar models and tens frames). 

 

History

At the end of our Rotten Romans topic we formed our own viewpoint based on our historical learning. Here is what a few Team Rowan members said:

'Based on my historical learning and the evidence I have seen, I feel the Romans were not rotten because the introduced flushing toilets' - Oscar C

'Based on my historical learning and the evidence I have seen, I feel the Romans were  rotten because they bathed together' - Elle
