As part of Maths week, we investigated which shapes would help to create the strongest bridges. We also used our understanding of money to calculate which resources we needed for our bridges. The cheapest and the strongest received the most points!

Excavation day!
We had such a great day today.
Year Three started off by creating their own number systems in Maths. These were based on symbols which have been discovered in caves and believed to be an early number system. The activity required some imagination and lots of place value knowledge!
Year Three then headed into the art room, where they worked hard to create some cave art to display in our classroom. They used a mixture of chalk, charcoal and oil pastel to create texture and detail.
The fun didn't end there! In the afternoon, Year Three ventured to the Science area and with magnifying glasses and paint brushes in hand, they worked in teams to find, sort and identify different rocks.
