The regeneration of Morecambe
In key stage two, we have worked together to plan ideas to bring Morecambe back to life. We created models to show new places people could come to visit. Everyone worked together fantastically and the children used their amazing imaginations to create some phenomenal models. Well done!
Year 3 have been on a trip to Happy Mount Park. At the park, we used maps and clues to orienteer around. We also had a ride on the train and a yummy ice cream. What a fanastic day! Thank you to all the parents that came along to help us :)
60's day! Year 3 have been getting their groove on!
Delightful digestion
Year 3 have been on a gory journey to discover what happens to food after it goes in our mouth. We had great fun doing a hands on experiment!
Today we have been collecting data relating to the lengths of our bones. We have presented it using pictograms and have created our own questions to ask each other.
Fencing
First we learned how to stand en garde! Then we had to carefully put our protective vests and helmets on . It was so exciting! We practised touching our opponent with the tip of our sword.
Fabulous Fencing
Class 3M worked up a sweat for Sports Relief!
Motor Museum Mania
Today was the day for our year 3 school trip. We had a great day at the Lakeland Motor Museum looking at lots of different vehicles from the first cars to the very special Bluebird water car. Then we had a fantastic journey across the lake from Lakeside pier to Bowness. It was great fun and we learned lots! 😃
In RE, we have been considering the meaning behind the word 'salvation'. We've discussed how it can relate to being rescued. The children then role played a variety of different situations where people may have to be rescued.
In preparation for creating our own wacky race comic stories, we have been looking at and enjoying different comics. We have learned about the different features of comics and have found the features within the comics we looked at.
Our Wacky Races topic in 3M is going down an absolute treat with all the children. We've created our own characters, settings and even our very own vehicles. Look at all our wacky designs!
We love science!
This week is science week and we are becoming scientists, carrying out lots of different experiments and scientific activities.
Marvellous Magnetism! We had a great time investigating how magnets work. We know about the different poles on magnets, how they attract and repel and we have been thinking about magnetic fields.
Year 3 and 4 have been learning all about volcanoes. We have learned about what causes a volcano to erupt, the after effects of volcanoes and we even got to create our own volcanic eruption!
Chromatography
We have carried out an investigation to find the best temperature water to melt ice quickly.
We have been using the power of air to make our balloon cars move.
