Today we used the blocks to explore and compare non unit fractions.
Comparing Non Unit Fractions

Changing States Experiment
Today we conducted an experiment to see what would happen to chocolate when we applied heat.
We put 3 pieces of chocolate in a metal bowl inside a bowl filled with hot water.
To begin with the chocolate was solid.
We timed in 1 minute intervals and observed and recorded what happened to the chocolate.
After 4 minutes the chocolate was completely melted and was a liquid.
We put the chocolate back in the fridge for half an hour to see if it would change state again.
After 30 minutes it was a solid again!
Sharing our independent writes ✏️
It was lovely to see children sharing their independent writes that they have been working on over the past week.
A big shout out to those children who stood up and shared their stories with the class too!
Solids, Liquids and Gases
Year 3 enjoyed starting case study two with a lesson on states of matter. We investigated what the particles look like in solids, liquids and gases and how changes in temperature affect states of matter.
Case Study Reflections
Today we completed our case study reflections all about our work on the Maya and chocolate.
Great work everyone! x
Fabulous Fractions
Today in maths we began our first fractions unit. We used coloured paper to deepen our understanding of the denominator. We learnt that the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
TTRS Battle – Colclough vs Robson
Calling all rockstars!!
You have two weeks to answers as many questions as possible to ensure your crew is crowned champion.
Maya Artwork
Today we began to look at Maya artwork in preparation for creating our own sculptures.
We conducted a gallery walk to explore Maya artwork.
Then we looked at some Maya glyphs and chose our favourite to incorporate into our own artwork.
We copied them carefully ready for some peer critique next lesson.
Children’s Air Ambulance Visit
Today we were very lucky to have a visit from volunteers Sandy and Trevor from the Children’s Air Ambulance. They shared lots of facts about how the air ambulance works and how their missions save the lives of children and babies who need urgent care. Did you know it costs £5500 each time the ambulance is launched!
Exploring Maya Jobs
Today in expedition we investigated the different jobs in a Maya village. There was lots to do and everyone played their part. At the end we decided which jobs we would have wanted to do if we had lived with the ancient Maya.
