Thank you to those who have supported Year Three’s Enterprise so far. We sold lots of cake pops today and made a BIG Mess !! We did have lots of fun though (and we tidied up!)

Remember that tomorrow we will be selling Ice pops on the playground, after school.

We will also be selling raffle tickets – £1 a strip. Our raffle prizes are some beautiful jewellery, Handmade by Cesare’s mum!

You’ve got to be in it to win it!!

On Frdiay we will be selling another fresh batch of Cake pops so don’t forget your 50p

THANK YOU. CLASS THREE

Key Stage 2 were treated to an exciting assembly all about Congleton Junior Orchestra. We all took part in a game of Name that tune’ where we all were able to say what song each was and the instructors were ever so impressed by our musical knowledge.

There will be an open day from 10-12pm at Trinity Church on June 16th, where there will be games and opportunities to try out the different instruments.

To end our science week, Mr Challiner came to talk to us all about mining. It was fascinating to learn about how diamonds were mined and how mines work.

We were also given the opportunity to ask questions about a miners work and about how rocks were formed.

Mr Challiner then set us a challenge to draw one of machines that was used in the mines of the Queens crown which houses the famous Cullinan Diamond.

Runners up were Zack Coates and Olivia Holt.

The winners were Joe Dale and Lucas Archer.

Thank you very much Mr Challiner for taking the time to come and talk to us.

This week, the children in STEM Club became engineers! They had a challenge to see how tall they could make a structure using only dried spaghetti and marshmallows. We had great fun working out how to make our structures stronger and decided that Mia’s structure was the best!

What a wonderful day we had at Quinta Forest yesterday. We were kept busy all day stream dipping, den building, playing games, scavenging and lighting fires. I think that both classes will agree that the highlight was toasting marshmallows on the campfire. Everyone came home with muddy feet (some muddier than others) and wet socks. A sign of a good day in my book!!

This afternoon we took our volcanoes outside and simulated an eruption.

First of all we tried 2 tbs or bicarbonate of soda, 1 tbs of washing up liquid and 30ml of vinegar. This wasn’t very successful and Miss Booth’s Volcano didn’t erupt. We then thought about how we could cause a bigger reaction and came up with out own quantities.

Here are some of the results.

We then had a go using coke and mentos. The reaction wasn’t quite as fierce as we had expected. I wonder what we could have differently?

This Year, we have been learning about our digital footprint. We though about which internet sites we had used over the past few days.

We then thought about how to keep ourselves safe when using thee internet. We created our top ten top tips!

On Thursday we had our first STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) club. We had lots of fun investigating magnetism! We drew race tracks and timed each other to see how fast we could get a paper clip round our tracks. We can’t wait to see what investigation we do next week!

This week we have been exploring what is found under our feet, right down to the center of the earth. Have a look at our models of the earth which show the different layers.

We have also learnt some pretty difficult words this week: sedimentary, igneous metamorphic, mantle, magma.
