March 2023

What a busy start to the half term we have had!

We had lots of fun at Stay and Learn on 8th March. We made blow rockets and then tried to improve them. We found out that when we made our rockets and blow tubes narrower the rockets went further.

We made the longest paper chains we could using 1 sheet of A4 paper. We found out the thinner and longer the strips we used to make the chain the longer the chain was.

Y3 Bird watching.

Anna Graham from Manx BirdLife came to talk to us and we went bird watching in the school grounds with her. The next day we set up a hide in the classroom so that we could take pictures of the birds visiting our bird feeder. We watch them every day but as movement makes them fly away we took it in turns to sit with an Ipad hiding behind a wheeled white board so the the birds would not notice us. We got some fantastic pictures!

Week beginning 16th January

What an exciting week this has been! We had a snow day on Tuesday and then on Wednesday a cricket coach came in and we had a visitor from Manx BirdLife in addition to our usual activities.

Science

We have been investigating if having a longer femur (being taller) meant we could jump further.


This is how far we jumped and the length of our femur . Left to right = longest to shortest jump.

These people jumped the furthest . Mila - 1st
Keeva - 2nd
Easton & Kiegan - 3 rd

Unknown_2.jpeg?m=1674578959


We discovered that height/ length of femur had no bearing on how far we could jump!

We have been making mince pie plates.

We rolled the clay, made impressions in it, cut and shaped our plates and then let them dry. When they were dry we painted them and decorated them with glitter. IMG_0524.jpg?m=1669716956IMG_0523_2.jpg?m=1669716849 IMG_0522.jpg?m=1669717031
