Charts and Graphs

This week, Miss Campbell's maths group have been investigating charts and graphs. We began by looking at tally charts, then bar graphs and now we're learning to analyse and create line graphs. It has been interesting to find out what people's favorite colors, fruit and flavor of crisps are. Have a look at our human bar graph below and see if you can tell which of the four colors (red, yellow, blue and green) is the most popular...

Miss Campbell thought that the children were so clever and had learnt so much about graphs that she decided to let Minna take over the class to collect data!

Minna and the other pupils worked together to put together some super data! 

We thought it would be fun to create our very own human bar graph to present our data! Do you know what our preferred colour is yet?

That's right it's BLUE!

Caution, Scientists at Work!

This week 3C have been very busy exploring the absorbency of different materials. We wanted to find out which paper is the most absorbent and would be best to mop up our spills. We tested newspaper, paper towel , toilet paper, sugar paper and computer paper. Most of the children predicted that toilet paper would be the most absorbent however our tests proved otherwise...

After all of the fun we had using the test equipment and gathering the data, it was to analyse our results.

The overall winner was the paper towel!

Tomorrow we plan to follow up this lesson by finding out which teacher uses the most absorbent paper towel at home. Let's hope that everyone remembers to bring a sample for us to test! Keep posted for the results...

Thank you

Dear Parents,

I would like to thank you for your contributions towards our upcoming art project. The children will have great fun using the milk bottles to make some fantastic creations! We will be sure to upload some photographs for you as soon as they are finished.

Empty Milk Bottles

Dear Parents,

I am writing to kindly request that you do not throw away any milk bottles that you may have at home. We are particularly in need of those which have handles. Year 3 would like to recycle these for their upcoming art project in two weeks time.

If you do happen to have any empty milk bottles, please send these in rinsed in water so that they are clean for the children to handle.

Thank you,

Miss Campbell

Swimming

Reminder

Just to remind you all, Henry Evans an Antarctic Explorer will be guest speaking at the school next week. Most of the children in our class have signed up and paid to attend the talk however some children have yet to return their slips. We hope that you all enjoy this fantastic opportunity. I am very much looking forward to it!
