• Year 3 are mathematicians

  Wed 28 Jan 2026 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  This week in maths year 3 have been looking at division. We have been using place value counters to support our understanding. We started by partitioning 2 digit numbers into tens and ones. We then looked at how we then divide those numbers. We counted how many were in each equal group to give us our answers.

• Year 2 are Geographers…

  Thu 15 Jan 2026

  This week our Geography learning has started with an enquiry session. The children looked at two aerial view photographs and used their prior Geographical knowledge to explain whether they thought it was somewhere in the UK or not. We have also spent time using an Atlas to locate Kenya and we did lots of research into this African country. The children have enjoyed looking at the atlases so much that we have kept some in our reading corner now for the children to access throughout the day.

   

  Our Maths learning has focussed on finding lines of symmetry. This is a tricky skill to understand and master but the children did really well with it.

• Year 3 are Geographers 🌏🗺️

  Tue 06 Jan 2026 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  This week Year 3 have started to explore Ecuador 🇪🇨. We used the atlas’ and the globe to locate Ecuador in comparison to England.  We discussed which continent Ecuador is in and looked at other countries within South America. We the researched in groups different things about Ecuador 🇪🇨. We used iPad's and atlas’s to find out where it was, what is close to it, human and physical features of the county, animals and people you might find there and what the weather is like. We then came together to complete a COWWS grid with the information we found.
