Year 3

Formations

Formations

We used drama to show the different tactics and formations used by Roman soldiers. We looked at what a century is, catapults, battering rams and testudos.

We ordered how excited parts of the text would make the reader feel. We used sentences stems to help explain our thoughts effectively.

Partitioning

Partitioning

We have partitioned a three-digit number to make mental subtraction easier. We know we can partition numbers such as 123 into 100 and 23. We showed brilliant collaboration!

Roman Empire weapons

Roman Empire weapons

We explored what a javelin, sword and shield was. We know facts about these weapons and applied this to create our own. The javelins are taller than us!

Partitioning 

Partitioning 

We used base ten to support our understanding of partitioning when subtracting mentally. We know to subtract the tens first, then the ones.
