Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic day at Temple Park, taking part in a Multi-Skills Challenge. There were several stations to experience which targeted skills such as throwing and catching, ball control, speed and agility, aiming at a target and teamwork.
Year 3 children visited Boldon School to take part in a tennis festival. We completed lots of different tennis activities and we all had a great morning!
This week in Science Council club we made sherbet using different powders like citric acid and icing sugar, flavouring and a choice of dippers.
This week in Science Council we made hover boards using old CDs, fruit shoot lids and balloons. We had fun testing the hover capabilities!
All the children enjoyed a performance of Robin Hood.
We all had a great time!
Year 3 enjoyed their visit to Palace Green Library in Durham on Thursday, which rounded off our topic on Prehistoric Britain. The children had the opportunity to get hands-on with some Iron Age artefacts considering their uses and who they might have belonged to. We also completed a Gallery trail, stepping back in time to find out more about the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Our day ended with a spectacular skeleton show, where we learned how our bones can tell us a lot about a person, such as their gender, age and even where they were born.
To celebrate Space Week this week, Science Council made their own rockets that use air pressure to take off and fly into the air!
Erupting volcano fun in Science Council club. Look at this fabulous task we did at club: we made play dough volcanos and then created our own chemical reaction to make it look like lava erupting – it was very cool!
Science Council had fun at club doing some chemistry: they worked with acids and alkalis in the form of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create a reaction and change of property.
