This week we have been learning about magnetism.

We know that magnets are attracted to some special metals and that these magnets have a North and and South pole.

We took part in several games and activities involving magnets.

#1 We predicted which objects we thought would be attracted to a magnet and then used a magnet to checked if we were right.

#2 We searched a treasure chest for magnetic objects.

#3 We tried to find the strongest magnet by counting how many paper clips it could pick up.

#4 We played a magnetic fishing game and tried to pick up Spongebob characters.

#5 We had to find objects around the classroom which were attracted to a magnet.

#6 We had to pick up spiders with hidden numbers underneath and then count up our total points at the end of the game.

This week we’ve been learning how to measure weight.

We had fun learning how to use the balance scales.

We then compared different fruits and vegetables to see which was heavier.

P3/2 have been carrying out  experiments involving rockets. Last week we made our own rockets and this week we made some modifications to see if we could get them to fly further.

First, we practised our measuring skills in the classroom.

Next we went outside to launch our rockets. Our modifications included adding some weight to the end and also adding wings.

The rockets went so far we had to use a trundle wheel to measure the distance!

Once we’d completed our experiment we recorded our results.

Good job boys and girls! 👏
