Thanks to KhunPorn for scanning and importing.

DT Pneumatics

This week we have made some moving monsters in pneumatics. We have used syringes to move the monsters. All of 3w saw some videos from previous Year 3 children so that we could get an idea of making a video and taking a photo. We also decorated it and made the moving parts interesting.

We all had a lot of FUN making the moving monsters!!!!!

Have a look at this link for more information.

Powerpoint

During the last few weeks of term, ICT lessons are filled with learning how to make powerpoints.

Here's one made by Prabhav about the Ancient Egyptians.

How do you think he did? Remember PMI (plus, minus, interesting)

Egyptian day

Today is Egyptian Day so we all wore fabulous Egyptian clothes. All of 3W wants to say thank you to the people who made the costumes possible.
When we went to see different classes, we experienced different activities: minimummymaking (see here for a great new Mummy website), Egyptian Dance and Drama and Hieroglyphics writing.
We watched the Shadow Play of mummification which was performed by the teachers.
We are now waiting ravenously for our turn to eat food from the banquet.
We also did a parade. Some people walked and danced just like real Ancient Egyptian dancers.

Looking after our teeth

During this term, we learned about teeth and eating. All of us made a made a poster about looking after our teeth.

So we found out some facts. Here are some facts about looking after your teeth:

1. Don't eat more than 1 whole bar of chocolate in a day

2. Avoid fizzy drinks and sugar.

3.Cut out sugary food.

Did you know?
Some people are born with teeth.
A complete set of adult teeth includes 32 teeth.
A canine tooth is for ripping.
The enamel is the white, hard outside layer.
Some animals only have canine teeth...like crocodiles and sharks.

Kidnapped!

Two 3w guided reading (GR) groups have been reading the challenging Robert Louis Stevenson book, Kidnapped. This story was written in 1886 and is set in Scotland. We read the version which was adapted by Margaret McAllister.

It has old fashioned Scottish words and is a very challenging book for 7 and 8 year olds.

Have a look outside the classroom at their story pathway.

A great piece of collaboration.

Brand new student council reps for 3W!

Congratulations to all of the candidates for applying to be student council reps:

Jessica, Grace, Sinead, Lei, Luc, Khalid, Prabhav, Tushar, Daniel and Jo.

After talking about their ideas in front of the whole class and having a secret vote and a very exciting counting process...the elected reps are:

Grace and Luc!

I'm really pleased to have so many children who are keen to take part in their council and who want to take responsibility for how their class, year group and school works.

400 Marble Reward, T ball competition, DT (sawing) and Assembly Practice!

It's been a busy day in 3W.














In the Tball competition, both teams did really well. The girls team came first and the boys team narrowly missed victory by 2 points, coming 2nd in the final. Well done to all players - great team spirit.
Some people were writing their plan while other people made their picture frames, using sawing and sticking. No-one was injured!

We then went straight to the hall for a practice of our Herculean assembly.

In our 400 marble reward,we played wink murder, Splat! and musical statues. We then decided what to play in small groups. People were playing UNO, speed stacks, Connect 4 and Glue.

I need a weekend for some rest!
