Year 3 used Numicon and Diennes in September to partition 2 and 3 digit numbers. They quickly became familiar with the terms tens and units and were able to say how many tens and how many units in any two digit number.

In October Year 3 used counters, cubes and plastic animals to find and show fractions of numbers. This helped them to a fraction a being part of a number or set.

During the first Autumn Term Year 3 placed important historical events in order. They discussed how much time had passed between these events and compared the length of these times to events in their own lives.

Whilst learning about the Victorians Year 3 found out what it was like to go to school during the Victorian era and how children used chalkboards and discipline was often harsh and unkind.
