Underwater Street

Year 3 had a fantastic time at Underwater Street.  They made their own bubble mixture and slime.  They made a balloon powered car and a water powered boat.  Some children chose to make a bath bomb, a fridge magnet and their own walkie talkie.  On top of all this they explored lots of different science activities.  Photographs will be posted soon.  I just want to say how proud they made me, they conducted themselves very maturely and politely whilst we were there.  Well done Year 3!  Mrs Fairhurst

Algorithms

We have been having fun creating algorithms to move the Beebots between 2 points and debugging them when they didn’t do what we expected them to.  We even programmed the Beebots to play football!

Underwater Street

The children will be having their school trip to Underwater Street in Liverpool on Wednesday the 22nd of April.  Please ensure that they wear their uniform as usual and bring their lunch (including a drink – no fizzy drinks please) in a disposable bag.  Children with school lunches will be provided with a packed lunch.  If you child suffers from travel sickness please make a member of staff aware prior to the visit. If you would like to look at the kind of activities they will be undertaking on the visit please feel free to visit the website at www.underwaterstreet.com       Thank you – Mrs Fairhurst

Clarice Cliff Bowls

Our Clarice Cliff bowls are now complete!  We popped the balloons and cut out the shape of a bowl.  Then we painted the outside a pale colour and the inside a dark colour.  After that we drew the outline of the flowers on the bowl.  We had to do this upside down! Finally we  painted the flowers on our bowls.  We will be bringing these home at the end of this term.

Our Friction Experiment

We had jellytastic fun in Year 3 this week.  The children had to time themselves transferring jelly coated in oil between two bowls using plastic sticks.  They had to wrap different materials around the end of the sticks to create friction to reduce the time it took.  Our record was 7 seconds using sticks wrapped in bumpy tin foil.science March 103

Parents’ Evening

The children will be leaving their books out for you to look at during Parents’ Evening.  They have put post it notes inside showing F for favourite, E for enjoyed and P for proud of.  We would love it if you would leave them a comment if you have enjoyed looking at their work.  I look forward to seeing you all.  Mrs Fairhurst
