Forest School- Year 3

Maths day!

For Maths day in Year 3, we worked in small groups and one child was blindfolded, the child who was blindfolded was challenged to create a variety of 2D shapes from squares to pentagons, using rope. This was a new challenge but we worked so well in our groups and managed to make lots of different 2D shapes. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 started their music lesson by just using the mouth piece from their instrument, to create different syllables and follow different beats!

Science week at St Clare’s!

This week in Year 3, we have taken part in various science experiments. We started with Get Set Jellies and then moved on to Friction fun. Jelly sets over time but we found out that different methods for preparing the jelly, can slow the process down. We used, peaches, mangos and pineapples as our additional foods in the jelly. We then took part in a friction experiment using long grain rice, a pencil and a water bottle. The aim was to see whether the bottle filled with rice could be lifted off the surface area by just holding the pencil. We were amazed at the outcomes and thoroughly enjoyed our experiments!
