Static Electricity.  

Static electricity stays in one place. It is produced when some materials are rubbed together.It causes crackles when you comb your hair. We took some sheets of green paper and tore it up into small pieces.We used a pen to add two black dots and hey presto we had some frogs .!! We combed our hair with a plastic comb quite a few times .We held the combs over the frogs and they came alive !!! The frogs jumped up because the comb had static electricity. 







Did you know Lightning is caused by a natural build up of static electricity in clouds? The lightning strike is just a giant spark of electricity.

We are working hard learning our Letterland characters. Kicking King says k in words -.

Great work Room 3!!

Last term Room 3 had Performing Arts lessons each week. They learnt lots of different dances. On Friday, they shared one of the dances that they had learnt at the Full School Assembly. The audience sang as they did the dance. We hope you enjoy it!

  Diwali. We have been working hard during our Inquiry time learning about festivals and celebrations.The Indian festival of Diwali is centred around Light so we have been busy using our collage skills to create beautiful candles. Collage requires Patience and Perseverance. Well worth all the hard work though!! .     We also painted our own beautiful D iva's-  small candles which are placed around peoples homes during Diwali.   Lights welcome the New Year and create a happy festive atmosphere. Come into Room 3 and see what you think!

We are enjoying working with Mrs Hooke doing Performing Arts on a Thursday morning-moving to music and learning to make interesting shapes with our bodies. We also enjoyed having some time on Friday to construct models using old boxes,egg cartons etc.When describing our models we tried to think of interesting words. We spoke clearly and listened to each other.Some of the models were constructed in teams and we all co-operated together.    It's so enjoyable to work together. Well done Room 3!
