I know everyone loved mindfulness colouring in class. I love colouring in too, it’s very relaxing. Here are some under the sea colouring pictures.
Why not try this fun game! Let someone draw a picture on your back, think about what you can feel and try to draw the same picture! I might try it at the weekend too. Here is an example…

I will need to try again. Here is a picture of my frog and the video I used in case you want to try. There are lots of videos on YouTube you could choose something different to make.

Good morning every! Thank you to everyone who sent Mr brice and me their work this week. You really are working so hard, you should all be very proud of yourself!
I received lots of comments about the shoe in the picture yesterday most people usually see grey/mint green or pink/white. I see the shoe as grey/mint green and Mr Brice sees it as pink/white. The real colour of the shoe is pink and white. Strange isn’t it? It’s all about perception. Even though you are looking at a picture of the same object your brain processes the information differently from others.
Predictions
Some of you made fantastic predications about the eggs yesterday here they are..
– The egg in vinegar would explode.
– The egg shell would disintegrate in the vinegar.
– The egg in vinegar would float.
– The egg in vinegar would change colour.
– The egg in vinegar would crack
ProcessÂ
The eggs had been soaking in the vinegar and water for 24 hours hours and this is what they looked like…
Vinegar is a weak acid and the egg shell is made of calcium carbonate. When the two come together they create a chemical reaction that breaks down the calcium carbonate, and produces carbon dioxide (these are the bubbles we can see). As you can see there has been no change to the egg in water. You made predictions that the shell would come off and that the egg would float in the vinegar. The shell is starting to come off and the egg does float, that is why there is a spoon in the picture to keep the egg submerged in the vinegar.
The results
The eggs have been soaking for two days now. All the shell has been broken down and while this was happening the water from the vinegar has been moving inside the egg leaving it larger than the egg in water. See the photo below.
The egg has changed colour, it has become translucent (see through) and because of this we can see the yolk moving around in the egg, we need to be careful with it.
The egg has now become soft, squidgy and has a rubber feel to it. I wonder if I could bounce it??
Elliot enjoyed bursting the egg, he is now crying because he wants to burst all the other eggs!
This is a really fun an easy experiment to try at home all you need is an egg and some vinegar. You could also make coloured bouncy eggs by adding a few drops of food colouring into the water. Please remember this isnt a real bouncy ball, it will burst and make a mess 😀
Someone in our class has been enjoying learning about food chains with this video, I thought I would share it with you all.
Have a great day everyone!
Miss Ross
Good morning everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and have had a good start to the week. At the weekend I got to visit my sister in her garden and see my lovely little niece she is only 11 weeks old. It was very hard not to grab her for a cuddle! We then had a BBQ it was great fun!
I thought I would try a little science experiment at home. Below is a picture of two eggs one is in white vinegar and one is in water. What do you see happening? Do they look different?
I would love you to make a prediction about what is going to happen to the eggs.
Will they change size?
Will they stay the same colour?
What will the vinegar do to the egg?
What will the water do to the egg?
You can leave a comment with your predictions or send me an e-mail and tomorrow I will post the results.
Just for fun.. what colour is the shoe? You might get different answers, comment on the blog post to find out what colours everyone sees.
Have a great day!
Miss Ross 😀
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather, it was a little too hot for me yesterday! Please remember to wear your suncream and a hat, it is very important.
Have you seen these wonderful chalk pictures? I really like them and think I am going to try and do one (if I can find some chalk). This could be an exciting activity for your family over the weekend. If you do one please send it to us, we would love to see them!
When we were out a walk last week someone had drawn instructions on the path similar to the ones below. It was great fun and another super idea for a family activity, especially in the nice weather.
I have enjoyed looking at everyones work this week, you have all been working so hard!
I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the weather.
Miss Ross
Morning everyone!
Was anyone out in the sun yesterday? We went a lovely walk to a river near our house, we had never been before. It was beautiful even though we ended up on the wrong side of the river! We walked for ages through long uneven grass and bushes trying to find somewhere to cross the river as there was a path on the other side. If only I had worn my wellies!! We need to figure out how to get on the other side. We still had fun, here are a couple photos…
Rounding has been the focus in numeracy this week. Here is a rhyme to help you remember whether to round up or down. I have also included a link for ‘Rocket Rounding’ a game to help you practise.

Good morning everyone! I hope you have all had a great start to the week. Remember you can send Mr Brice and me any of the work you have completed. You can even just say hi and tell us what you have been up to.
I have allocated everyone a non-fiction book about tigers on Active Maths. Feel free to have a look at it, it might help anyone doing some research. I never knew Mr Brice had a tiger at home, how cool!!
Everyone in P3B will know my favourite animal is an Orca. Do you remember watching Free Willy together before we finished school? (Don’t tell anyone I nearly cried at the end!!). This week you have been asked to create a fact file about an animals that lives in the ocean, I made my own about Orcas. Have a look..
Here is today’s riddle..
Good morning everyone! I Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine yesterday.
The ‘Draw with Rob’ art work you have been sending is fantastic, you inspired me to try it myself. This is my superhero teddy.
The link for ‘Draw with Rob’ is below if you haven’t done one yet or want to try a different one.

Here is a short video about the different creatures that live deep in the ocean. You will hear the man in the video mention the Photic zone, this is another name for the Sunlight zone. Have a look at these amazing creatures, like I said yesterday some of them are a little strange looking.
Have a great day!
Miss Ross 😀
Morning, I hope you all had a good start to the week. Remember you can share some of the work you have been doing at home by sending Mr Brice and me an e-mail.
This week you have been looking at the different layers of the ocean and the different animals you find there. I found this cool resource you can have a look at. It takes you down to the very bottom of the ocean 10,914 metres deep! There are some very strange animals deep in the ocean, have a look!
I know after hearing Mr Brice story ‘Gilbert the hero’ many of you have been researching sharks, I have allocated you a book all about sharks on Active Learn that can help with your research.
Have a look at this website, it allows you to track sharks that have been tagged around the world. They all have names, it tells you information about them and you can see where they have travelled recently.
