Class of 2018

Christmas Party Time in Year 3!

We have designed our own Egyptian Death Masks inspired by ones we have been studying from Ancient Egpyt.

After taking out the decorations, the children where given the chance to Christmas-fy the classroom. This is the resulting tree!

Igneous rocks are formed when molten rocks cool to leave a glassy or shiny surface. As we couldn't heat rocks to 1200 degrees, the chocolate went into some hot water followed by cool water to create the effect.

By holding the chocolate and squeezing it, we were able to create metamorphic rock. Typically by adding heat and pressure, metamorphic rocks have crystals or ribbon-like layers.

We have talked about how rocks are formed and by grating milk and white chocolate, we were able tried all three ways! 

Sedimentary rocks are formed when layers of sediment are compacted together. 

We added a number of ingredients to make a marvellous medicine - inspired by Roald Dahl's story. Ingredients included baking soda, tomato sauce, jelly crystals, honey, mud, leaves, carrots, salt, vinegar and many more. As you can see, it did have a strange smell...

We have been using classroom objects to print pictures. The choice was a robot, car or house. Which is this?

We threw different objects into our cylinder. The three liquids we used were Sunflower Oil, Water and Honey. Here you can see lentils have already passed through the oil and are on their way down through the water.

Year 3 have been looking at shape properties and sorting accordingly. Can you work out where a square would go?

Balance, skill, ollies, races...We had it all as we got to grips with a plank of wood with wheels!

The final product!
