Balloon release.

We had such fun today, releasing our balloons!
Hopefully, some of our balloons will be found by people who decide to write back to us.
Whilst walking to the swimming pool this afternoon, we were all making predictions about how far our balloons could travel....we will have to wait and see!

Stonehenge

In art this term, we have been studying sculptures. We have carried out research into the local heritage site, Stonehenge.
In the art room, we had great fun with clay and here are some of our attempts at Stonehenge replicas.

Literacy erupts in Y3

This week, we have been focusing on instructions in Literacy. To link with our topic, and to the excitement of our volcanologists in school, we made a volcano! Here are a few pictures of the volcano in the making. If you would like to find out how to make your very own volcano then keep checking this blog. Year Three will reveal their instructions soon...

Wookey Hole.

Here are some pictures from our trip this week. It was a great day, despite the weather.
We learnt so much about rock formations in the cave and then had a brilliant ( but slightly scary) experience in the new 4D cinema. There are a few pictures but it was too dark inside the caves to take many pictures. We also learnt how paper is made and some people were lucky enough to have a go at making their very own piece of paper with a personalised stamp.

Engineering workshop

We had a brilliant morning with our visitors from STEM!
 As part of Maths week, we investigated which shapes would help to create the strongest bridges. We also used our understanding of money to calculate which resources we needed for our bridges. The cheapest and the strongest received the most points!
