A busy week in Year 3!

Hi everyone!

We've just finished what turned out to be a very busy week!  On Monday, we took part in a live virtual Science workshop called 'The Supersonic Side Show!' presented by Pete at Wonderstruck, and learnt all about Sound.  It was great to watch the experiments and build on what we learnt last half-term in Science.  The class was particularly excited by the experiments showing sound waves dancing over flames, and using sound to make a straw move by itself in a glass!

On Thursday, it was our World Book day at Chagford!  I loved seeing everyone's costumes and enthusiasm for books and reading.  We had a look at a book about shapes and patterns, and created our own tessellating patterns.  We also watched a video from the author Simon Farnaby, and learnt about what inspires him and the ideas in his books.  Then we had a go at creating or own stories, using a selection of objects to inspire us to write something new!  In the afternoon, we were lucky enough to have a visit from The Bookery (from Crediton).  The lovely helpers from the Bookery told us about some of the most popular new children's books at the moment - there were almost too many to choose from!  After, the children had the chance to buy some books if they wanted to.

It was also great to see so many supporting our cake sale on Friday after school, in aid of support for Ukraine.  We talked in class last week about how and why we could help, and I was very proud to know just how much Oak class wanted to help in whatever way they could.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, see you next week!
