P3 had a brilliant time at Sports Day today. They all tried their best and encouraged everyone in their team. Well done P3! Thanks to Mrs Fletcher for organising our Sports Day.

Our great wave display looks amazing and it was beautifully arranged by Mrs Ryalls.

We were shocked to discover that not everyone has access to clean drinking water from a tap. We realised how lucky we are.

We researched how our water is cleaned for us to drink and how it goes through a water filtration system, through pipes and eventually to the taps in our homes.

Our design brief was to make a water filtration system with Lego.

We have still to test out our models. The small objects should not reach the end of the model. If it works properly then only water will reach the end. The Lego obstacles and cloths should trap the small objects

Can we rise to the challenge?

Next week we will test our water filtration models and finish writing our procedure about how we made the model.

As we are reading chapter books now we made these fierce book marks to mark the page where we stop. They were very quick to make and make ideal gifts.

We  used our centimetre rulers to measure Mobots then we checked again to make sure we had  measured them correctly.

We have been very busy measuring objects and furniture in our classroom using a Metre stick to measure accurately.

It has been fun being active in our learning.

We learned how to use water in our Art today.

First we drew the shape of the water melon with water on a paint brush.

Then we bled the watercolour paints.

Some of the water melon slices look very realistic and quite mouth watering.

It has been quite thought provoking discussing how we need to save water and look after our planet.

These wonderful posters help us to remember not to be wasteful with water.

We have a new member in our class. He is called Mobot and he is helping with our Talking and Listening.

It is funny when we record our voice and he changes the sound. This is helping us to change our voice when we want to be different characters.

We have been estimating measurements and then checking our guesses using a centimetre ruler.
