MATHS - fractions and decimal fractions!

WOW!  We're really making progress with our maths work!

A big focus for Year 3 has been using our times tables knowledge.  We can use this for all sorts of maths...
What is the inverse of multiplication?  Do you know your fact-families-of-4?

As well as problem solving, we are now using our times tables knowledge to help us with fractions and decimal fractions.  Hopefully by now you will have discovered that 'fractions' and 'decimals' are not such scary words!

Other vocabulary we have been using in maths include unit fractions, non-unit fractions and tenths.

Have fun with the web-links below to scrub up on your understanding of how to use them...

Design your own flags using fractions  Fraction Flags

Fractions using 2d shapes  Can you also name the shapes being used?

Can you identify these fractions of shapes?  http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/ngfl/ngfl-flash/fractions/fractions.html

Week ending 27 January 2017

    Internet Safety Day – 7 th February 2017 We take E-safety seriously throughout the year but Internet Safety Day on Tuesday 7 th February will provide us with an opportunity to have a more in-depth focus on E-safety in each class and share some of the children’s learning with you. Over the next two weeks pupils will be learning about how to stay safe on the internet. Their learning and activities will be relevant to their age group. We believe that it’s important for children and their parents to be aware of the dangers on the internet, to recognise any inappropriate use of the internet, and to know what to do should they find themselves involved in any situation.

Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost! We pray for Year 6 during their preparation for Confirmation

Изображение
This Sunday sees the end of 50 days of Easter, and welcomes the Feast of Pentecost - when the Holy Spirit entered the hearts of Jesus' disciples. We look forward to seeing you at mass to celebrate this Holy Day. When we return to school we will explore this most joyous moment.  For now, you may want to look at the video below to help you understand the event. The Holy Spirit fills us with the Fruits and Gifts we need to spread the Good News , as disciples of Jesus.  The video link below may help you to remember these - think about how you will use the Fruits of the Holy Spirit throughout your Journey. We continue to pray for Year 6 , as they prepare to receive the Holy Spirit, through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
