Welcome to Year 3's class blog. We have lifted off to a flying start after receiving a letter from a pen pal Iza Jayer who lives in the Arctic Circle and needs our help to win a hot air balloon competition to England. We have begun our year 3 journey by getting very messy, designing and creating our own hot air balloons and the children have suggested that we learn to write back to Iza Jayer. In Science we have started our first topic 'Magnets and springs' and this week will be exploring bar magnets. In Maths we have begun exploring place value of 3 digit numbers, partitioning, adding 1 digit numbers to 2 and 3 digit numbers and adding and subtracting 10.
