St. Laurence's Church and the River Wey - Year 3

The children in Year 3 had an enjoyable and successful visit to St. Laurence's Church, the River Wey and Radipole Nature Reserve this week.
We firstly found out about some of the fascinating local history associated with the church. Then we tracked the River Wey from its source at Upwey Wishing Well to where it meets the sea at Radipole Lake, stopping of on the way to have a look at the mid-section of the river around Watery Lane in Broadwey. At Radipole Lake we did Pond-dipping and Bug-hunting, and then finished the day by feeding the ducks!
Our thanks to the parents (and grandparent) who were able to come along to help make the two visits a success. We hope that you had fun too.

 



There are lots of photos of the two days in the Year 3 Gallery.

Year 1 to Year 4 - Mathletics Mayhem - 30th June 2017

Mathletics has set us a challenge competition!  Over the next two weeks we will be working towards helping each child achieve enough points to get a certificate.  If there is enough participation we might stand a chance at winning one of the prizes on offer for our school!  The purpose of this challenge is to familiarise the children with the new look Mathletics website.  Please could you help out by using your child's Mathletics log in with them at home?  Or you could try the Mathletics app on your tablet.  There will be an opportunity for each class to access mathletics at one playtime per week as well as through their maths lessons and ICT time.  Let's see how many points we can earn!  If your child is uncertain of their log in please ask a member of your child's class team.

Sticky Time with Marshmallows and Spaghetti

Today the children in Year 3 had a sticky time with Marshmallows and Spaghetti. The challenge was to build a tower as tall as possible using only sticks of spaghetti and marshmallows to attach them together. We had some fun. We got in a bit of a sticky mess.
Thank you very much to the Mums and Grandma that came in to join us for the session. (Your help clearing up at the end was very gratefully appreciated.) We hope you enjoyed the session.

I have posted some photos in the Year3 Gallery on the school's website.

Making Towers and Bridges (Year 3 and Year 1)

Today the children in Year 3 combined with the children in Year 1 to take part in some practical designing and building activities.
Working with Miss. Kinkead, the children had to make bridges out of various different play-construction materials. The strength of their bridges was then tested by applying weights.
With Mr. MacBean, the children had to use newspaper and masking tape to make towers that were as tall as possible.
As well as learning about the importance of combining effectively with members of a team, the children learned about various engineering ideas including measurement, strength, balance and support.
