Scientists in year 3

We have continued to work scientifically in our science lessons. Last week we looked at the chemical reaction caused when you mix bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to make volcanoes erupt. Today we tried to make slime but actually ending up making goo. We still had lots of fun and explored the properties of the goo.

Contemporary Dance Performance

Our contemporary dance club have been working so hard this half term and enjoyed performing to parents and carers on Friday. A big thank you to Laura from United Sports Coaching for choreographing a fantastic routine and for running the club each week. 


More volcanoes

Today we had the chance to share the remaining volcanoes that have been created. I am blown away by how amazing these have turned out Year 3. Thank you so much for all of the hard work that has gone into making these. 


Children’s Mental Health Week Wellbeing Walk

Year 3 had a magical yet chilly time on their walk to Gorse Hall today. We did a nature scavenger hunt, played games, chased a rogue balloon and climbed trees. It was a lovely way to look after our wellbeing. 


Superstars

Well done to all superstars who achieved certificates today. Most of the class received one for their amazing volcano creations. We also all received one for completing 5 tasks this week for Children's Mental Health Week. We have explored affirmations, gratitude, complements and breathing exercises. I hope you all use some of these ideas to help with your wellbeing. 


Working scientifically

This term we are enjoying working scientifically exploring different parts of science investigations. Today we have been taking accurate measurements using different thermometers.


OAA in PE

We had a lot of fun playing team games in PE this week. Our favourite was pass the balloon blindfolded. 


Scratch Coding

Year 3 have enjoyed using Scratch to explore coding motion, sound, costumes and backdrops. Today they have planned their final project which they will create next week.
