Class Party

During this half-term, the children have all worked incredibly hard. I have been extremely impressed with their outstanding behavior and positive attitude towards learning. For this reason, we are planning to celebrate with an end of term party on Friday afternoon. Children are allowed to bring in a small snack to share with friends and together we will enjoy some games.

Happy Birthday JingJang

3C would like to wish JingJang a very Happy Birthday! 

JingJang brought two incredible cakes in for us to enjoy and we even watched 'Mona the Vampire' as an extra special treat. We hope that JingJang has had a lovely day at school and we're sure that he will enjoy lots more fun when he is home. 

Reflection Symmetry

Reflection Symmetry (sometimes called Line Symmetry or Mirror Symmetry) is easy to recognise, because one half is the reflection of the other half. 

The Line of Symmetry (also called the Mirror Line) does not have to be up-down or left-right, it can be in any direction! We found this concept quite tricky to understand until Miss Campbell told us to simply turn the line until it was straight.  We had great fun reflecting lines and shapes on our carpet. We split into two teams and challenged each other to some very difficult reflections. Then, we used peg boards to create individual reflections, these turned out to be very beautiful.

Absorbency

Last week, 3C continued to explore the characteristics of materials and we learnt all about absorbency (the ability to soak up liquid). As always, our week ended with a practical experiment. Miss Campbell decided to use this opportunity to find out which teacher buys the most absorbent kitchen towels. Miss Prest and Miss Bialek were very kind and each brought in a sample for us to test. Here are the results of what we found...

Miss Bialek uses 'Tesco Value' kitchen roll , we found this to be the least absorbent. Perhaps that is why is it the cheapest. 

Miss Prest uses 'Thirst Pockets', we found this to be the second most absorbent kitchen roll. 

Miss Campbell uses 'Plenty', our results showed that her kitchen roll was the most absorbent. It was, however, the most expensive one too! 

House Colours Day

Last week, 3C has lots of fun taking part in House Colours Day. Throughout the morning, children enjoyed quizzes, song writing, arts and crafts and finally team building activities. The house teams then competed against each other in a basketball tournament. Some children played whilst other cheered them on.

During the afternoon we had an assembly in which candidates for house prefects delivered their speeches in order to win votes, we were very impressed by the standard of these.
