Today was a very slimy day in our class. Our topic is Splish, splash, splosh and today we were exploring the difference between a liquid and a solid. We made magic slime that was once a solid and then turned into a liquid!! We were all amazed that if we poked the slime quickly with our finger it was solid but when we put our hand into it, it became a liquid!!
We had so much fun! We even had a bit of an explosion! 🤣 It’s a good job we have lots of helpers in our class who were at hand to help clean it up!
What a fun experiment!!
We have been busy learning about the different 3D shapes. Today we made some 3D shapes using marshmallows and cocktail sticks. We had to count how many sides/edges and vertices each shape has. We used the marshmallows for the vertices and the cocktail sticks for the edges.
What a fun morning! We even got to sample some marshmallows at the end too!! 😉😉
This week Year 3/4 have been learning about length. Today the children were asked to go around our classroom and measure some items. They had to decide whether or not an item was: less than a metre, about a metre or more than a metre.
We managed to find 2 things in our classroom that were just about a metre! One of our school desks and the classroom sink!! 🚰
We were amazed at how many shapes are actually in our environment and we don’t really notice until we are looking for them! 🔴▪️🔺
On Tuesday afternoons the Year 3 children come together with Mrs Kane. This term we are working together to create things using LEGO. On week 1 we made our own creations, week 2 we made Road safety themed scenes and on week 3 we made things based on Year 2/3 topic 'Let's sparkle'.
Take a look at what we've made!
