3 TIMES THE FUN

This post is brought to you by the Number...

This week we have been investigating the number 3
We know that-

* the names Ben and Max have 3 letters in them

* our school name has 3 words in it

* 3 babies born to the one family at the same time are triplets

* we write the number 3 in a clockwise direction

There are also stories that have 3 main characters in them.

Click on the titles to hear the story again.

* Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

* The 3 Billy Goats Gruff

* The 3 Little Pigs

Do you know of any other stories that have something about 3 in them? Bring them in to share.

Where have you seen the number 3? Do you have a 3 in your house number?

Have you seen 3 of something?....

look around your home, your street,

at the waterfront, the shops, while

you are in the car.....

Can you find 3 in 3 different places?

Can you find 3 different groupings of 3?

Take some photos if you can. Leave a comment and tell us what you have found.

HAPPY HUNTING!

PATTERNS!!! PATTERNS!!! PATTERNS!!!
We made some patterns about 3. Mrs M thought we would just do ABC patterns like these...

but we are just SOO clever!!!

Can you work out what these patterns are? Read them carefully.

Are they ABB ? AAB ? ABA ? or ABC ? Leave a comment to tell me what you think.

Patrick has given you 5 patterns to name!

Look at this one CLOSELY!

There's one other way to make a pattern about 3 and it's VERY tricky. Can you work it out?

Use objects from around your home to create 3 patterns. Tell us about them in a comment. Take a photo if you can.
Here are some to get you going. Can you finish these patterns?
