Did Our Water Really Walk?

We wondered what we might find when we arrived back at school.  Our experiments had changed but each was different.  Can you see any changes?

We noticed...

Maskil - Before the handy towel was white but it changed from the food colouring.

Jamie - The food colouring kept on climbing up until it reached the next cup.

James - The plain water changed because of the paper towel.

Mia - The blue food colouring was so strong that it went into the plain cup of water and turned that blue too.

Sophia - Sometimes two colours would creep up the handy towel and make new colours.

Liam - When the yellow food colouring went to the red it made orange.

Walking Water

Is water really able to walk?  We are going to find out!

Creations to Share Our Learning

Room 20 learnt about the ways people celebrate Easter around the world.  They then planned and created items that could share what they had learnt.  Posters, videos, booklets... we have it all!

What are you thinking?

When given a problem to solve at maths we need to figure out what it is asking us to do so that we can find a solution.  Maskil, Jayde, Rio and Max do a great job explaining what they are thinking when they solve this problem.

Hooking us in...

We are learning to write a hook to engage our reader.

Room 20 have been exploring effective hooks. Together we shared what we knew and discussed what we might see in really effective hooks.  We levelled some before we had a go ourselves.

Would you keep reading if this was the hook the writing started with?

Suddenly, Broom, Broom!  What's that? Oh, it's just a motorbike, off I go. 'Weeee' I said in my mind.

We decided that Thomas has written an effective hook.   

Flexible Learners

Room 20 showed they were Flexible Learners on Friday when our normal timetable needed a quick change.  The weather was cold and windy.  Rain was looming in the sky.  It was our swimming morning but due to the weather not behaving and the amazing photos that needed to be taken, we adjusted our timetable and played games with Mr Sullivan instead.  

We learnt new games and had a great time! 

Year 3's Share Their Moves

On Thursday we were lucky to have Miss Williams and Room 21 teach all the Year 3's an Irish Dance.  We started by learning some steps and then put these together in groups of four to finish the dance.
