P3/4 class blog

In Science we learned about Liquids and Solids .  We got cornflour and mixed it with water, it was very gooey! (Jessica) When you put your hand into the mixture slowly it was like a liquid but when you hit it hard it was like a solid. (Caelen)

We learned about adjectives and adverbs. Adverbs normally have a ly at the end.  (Isla)

In PE we are learning about Gymnastics.  We we were doing forward and backward rolls. (Rudy)

In maths we made our own time clocks.  It was fun. (Oscar). We also learned about adding using chimney sums. It’s brilliant! (Chloe)  We did the 50 club and I managed to get on to Level G! (Finlay)

In Writing we made a Storyboard.  It’s where you draw pictures about each scene of your story.  (Lauren)

We made firework pictures.  I liked how we used oil pastels and got to be creative with our fireworks.  (Miller) I thought it was really fun. (Cristen)  Before we did it we listened to a song that was in French about Fireworks. (Aidan)

We had Music with Mr Potter.  We were learning about beat and rhythm. (Kaden)  I want to play the piano.  (Hope)

We learned about Rights and Wants and Needs. (Freya)

In French the P3s learned what farm animals are called in France. A pig is a “cochon”.  (Casey)

A liquid is not a fixed shape. It is able to flow freely. Molecules in a liquid are not as tightly packed as in a solid. Liquids cannot be compressed.
How it flows is called “viscosity.” If a liquid is high viscosity it will flow slowly like honey and a low viscosity liquid will flow quickly like water.
Some liquids behave strangely. A non-newtonian liquid is a bit like a liquid and a solid. They change behaviour when a force is applied. Toothpaste becomes runny when it is mixed. Paint becomes thinner when it is stirred. Cream becomes thicker when it is mixed. A non-newtonian liquid does not always take the shape of its container.
In class we put cornflour in a bowl and added a little water. When you put your hand in slowly it sunk in the liquid but if you whacked it hard it acted like a solid.

We went to see Stuart Reid in the hall.  He is an author (Isla). He was really funny! He was telling us about his series of Gorgeous George Books. (Libby J) He sold some books. (Kasia) He was funny because he was talking about small kids that like booggers! (Freya)

We finished our onomatopoeia posters. My word was BOOM! (Michael)

The P3s were playing multiplication Jenga and it was brilliant! (Rudy)

We did the 50 club today and I only had 4 left to do. (Craig)

Parent’s evening was fun, I thought it was “brilliotic”. (Miller)

We had to match English and French words together and it was really fun and we had to try and fit everything on our Tout Sur Moi.  (Caelen)

 

The class enjoyed our visit today from the author Of the Gorgeous George books Stuart Reid. The p4s went before break and the p3s joined the rest of the infant classes after break. There was lots of laughter as Stuart read extracts from his book and a lot of talk about snot! If any pupil wishes to buy a signed copy of his book but forgot their money today they can bring in £7 tomorrow.

Just a reminder that for our writing we are going to be creating our own Lego superhero story.  So far we have created our characters, setting and a new vehicle.  Next week we will be beginning to plan out our story, creating a plot.  Discuss with your child the work they have already done and ask them what ideas they have for their story.  Thank you
