Flowers are not just pretty petals and pollen. This afternoon we dissected our flower and found out that they are actually made up of lots of different parts.

Once we had dissected the flower, we labelled the different parts.

Next we are going to find out what each part does.

This afternoon we have been busy making Bee pencil toppers to sell during our enterprise week. We will be selling them all week as part of our enterprise for £1

1.

All the money raised will be donated to the Manchester appeal.

This week in class three we investigated how the type of surface affected the amount of friction created on a toy car

We found that the bubble wrap created the most friction and the tin foil the least. So, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.

We’ve had lots of fun experimenting, as well as developing our investigation skill in class 3 this week.

On Monday we looked at how destructive air can be. We filled the bottle full of hot water then poured cold water and ice over it. After a minute or so the bottle began to crush!!

Did you know that gloop can dance? We made out gloop boogie on Tuesday afternoon.

The he vibrations from the loud music we played agitated the mixture of cornflour and water and made it look like it was dancing .

We followed Miss Booth’s instructions to make gummy worms wriggle on Thursday. We soaked them in a solution of bicarbonateof soda and water for half an hour. Next we dropped a worm into a cup of white vinegar and watched them wriggle to the top.

We finished our week with a bang (literally) this week. The chemical reaction between the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar filled the bag with carbon dioxide until it went BOOM!

Today it was Year 3’s turn to come for the science experiment enterprise with year 4. A few children turned up and had a lovely time exploring what happens when you mix together bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid and lemon juice.

The bicarbonate of soda, when mixed with lemon juice, is forming carbon dioxide gas. As this fizzes up in the washing up liquid, it creates lots of soapy bubbles – wow! Is science magic?

Last week we learnt all about the Native Americans. We made our own headdresses but we are yet to decide who will be chief!

On Tuesday the 27th of February year 3 packed an overnight back and headed to the Tattenhall residential centre. On the first day we completed some fantastic art projects.

After our tea, we settled down to watch ,inside out with some hot chocolate and popcorn.

After a good nights sleep we had breakfast, stripped our beds and went to the hall for dance and drama. We made up our own routines and learnt one altogether to create one long piece.

We had such a good time, we can’t wait for our next residential trip.

We really enjoyed dressing up  on world book day.

On Thursday we went to WHSmith and exchanged our tokens for a book of our choice

This afternoon Miss Booth gave us a map of the U.k. The problem was, it was broken into pieces! It was tricky but we got there in the end.  

 Can you spot where we went wrong? 

Since October year 3 and 4 have spent two afternoons a week with our lovely artist Mrs Guildford. The children have developed and used a range of skills over the last few weeks to be able to create fantastic art work. The children’s work was based on the topic we have done in class which of course last term was ‘The Stone Age’. 

Today Libby, Vaughan, Rory and Aly spent time with Mrs Guildford putting all of their work together in the entrance hall to make a wonderful display. Here are some of the pictures of the display, please do call in to have a look if you get a spare moment as it really is brilliant to see the hard work these children have been doing over the last few months. 

We are still recovering from Monday in class three! What a fun filled day we had! We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! See you in January.  

Year 3 and 4 have been working together this morning to complete Christmas craft activities; they have made their own baubles, Christmas tree decorations, dress the snowman, Christmas colouring, iPad activities, laptop time, different games and even some baking. We loved the baking especially having a lick of the bowl afterwards. When we asked if we were allowed to Mrs Daley said ‘why not it’s Christmas’ 😋

Today year three were taken over by an army of reindeer and penguins!

On Tuesday we were invited to perform during the Cross Street Church’s annual Christmas Lunch. A VERY special person came to listen to us sing too!
