Science Week Fun – St. Enda's National School

During Science Week, year 3 were doing their learning from home. Mr McNulty demonstrated some of the experiments that came up in their class discussion of things they wanted to find out.

Lots of the children tried doing the experiments themselves at home.

When we returned to school, we tried out the experiments together.

We looked at what would happen when we added bicarbonate of soda to vinegar.

This created a gas that was able to blow up a glove that had been attached to the bottle.

We even managed to make an egg float in water when we added salt to it.

The final experiment we did was to find out what would happen to an egg if we left it in vinegar.

As part of of science, we are looking how caterpillars change into butterflies.

Tuesday 8th June 2021

Today in school something very exciting happened.

Each class had a special delivery!

Some classes are going to be looking after chicks, some are having partridges and some like year 3 are having ducklings.

 

Our eggs are in the incubator and will hopefully hatch in the next day or two.

One of our eggs has already got a crack so will hopefully hatch later today.

 

Day 2

Wednesday 9th June 2021

This morning something wonderful happened in year 3,

two of our ducklings hatched!

We decided to take a vote on what names to give the ducklings.

Everyone wrote their favourite name on a piece of paper and put them into a hat to be drawn out.

Our first two gorgeous ducklings have been named 

Speedy and Beyoncé.

Day 3

Thursday 10th June 2021

Today we had two more new arrivals.

We have named them Donny and Daisy.

Monday 14th June 2021

Speedy, Beyoncé, Donny and Daisy have all had a good weekend, eating lots and running around. They got to enjoy their first paddle together.

Thursday 17th June 2021

Sadly today we had to say goodbye to Beyoncé, Donny, Daisy and Speedy.

They have grown so much that they needed more space to run around.

They have gone to live on a farm where, we are sure they will be very happy!

Author Visit

Delilah Rose the Bogey Princess eBook: Hunt, Simon James, Cameron, Fiona:  Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from Simon Hunt the author of the book

'Delilah Rose the Bogey Princess.'

He read his book to the class and we all thought it was extremely funny. He even did funny voices.

Mr Hunt talked to the children and explained that he was a teacher in a school in Bury and it was his students that encouraged him to write a book. He  was always telling them that they could be authors and they said he should write a book.  He took up the challenge and came up with the idea as his daughter is called Delilah Rose. The children in his class have had an input and helped him choose the cover for his book.

He is now writing his second book about his son Hugo.

He asked the children in class to give him some ideas that he could use in his new book. Year 3 came up with lots of great ideas. We look forward to reading his book when it is published.

Whilst things have been a little different this year, we still wanted to share our festive spirit with everyone.

I'm sure that parents/carers have missed coming into school to join in with all our celebrations.

We did not want you to miss out, so all classes have recorded some Christmas songs to share with you all.

Year 3 have even learnt a song in Spanish!

We hope you all enjoy our videos.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very

This week has been 'Friendship Week' in school.

The theme this year was;

'All  different,  al equal!'

We have been doing lots of work in class on how to be good friends, and how to help others.

We made some cartoon strips and created jigsaw pieces to show how we are all different but how we fit together to make our wonderful school family.

Each class created a video to show what they have been doing.

Check out Year 3's video below.

 

Friday was Odd Socks Day! We asked all children and staff to wear ‘odd socks’ to school.    

Odd Socks Day is about understanding that everyone is different and everyone is EQUAL.

Today was Children In Need.

Year one have chosen to support this charity as their class charity. They asked that we all come dressed in either our own clothes or something yellow and bring a donation of 50p.

The children in year 3 all took part and some children even came dressed as Pudsey Bears!  

October has been Black History Month. 

Each class has been focusing on a different black person from either the past or present.

They had to find out about the person they had chosen and then report back to the rest of the school. 

Year 3 have been finding out about Marcus Rashford and how he has campaigned the government to provide free school meals for children during school holidays. This has helped lots of children across the country receive their right to healthy food.

We have made a video about Marcus Rashford's life so far.

If you are looking for things to do with your children over the half term holidays, check out the websites below

In Science we  have been learning about Mary Anning who was famous for finding some of the very first dinosaur fossils. 

We were lucky enough to interview Mary, (who was really Mr McNulty) to help us find out more about her and how she became famous around the world for her fossil discoveries. We then wrote some biographies about her life.

Thursday 8th October was Clean Air Day.

The council gave us permission to shut the road directly outside of school for the start and end of the school day. This helped to reduce the amount of pollution caused by cars around the school and also made it safer for the children entering and leaving the school gates. 

We went outside with banners and posters the children had made to help raise awareness of pollution and how making small changes will help to improve our environment.

Article 24: Children have a right to a clean and safe environment to live in. All adults and children should have information about how to stay safe and healthy.

In year 3 our science topic is:

We have been making chocolate rocks to show how sedimentary rocks are formed. After the experiment we got to eat the chocolate rocks.

Then we did an experiment to see what is in soil.

Monday 28th September

In year three we have been reading  the book 'Stig of the Dump.'

We had to pretend to be one of the characters 'Barney' and write a diary entry for the day he met

Stig for the first time.

Here are some of our wonderful entries.

Take Over Day

On Friday 18th September, it was 'Take Over Day' in school. In each class the pupils got to take over the roles of the teaching staff and they all had the opportunity to teach a lesson in class during the day.

Mattea took over the role of Mr. McNulty and Larrisa took over the role of Mrs Plaiter.

Then children planned and delivered a number of different lessons during the day such as Art, Maths, Handwriting and Computing.

Parliament Week

This week we have been finding out more about Parliament and the Government. 

 The whole school got to listen to the manifestos of year 6 pupils who were standing for                                                   Headteacher, Deputy and Business Manager.                                                       

We then voted for who we thought would do a good job on

'Take Over Day'

We have also been voting ourselves for the new representatives for Rights Respecting Group, Eco Group and School Council. The winners will be announced next week. 

Good luck to all the children who put themselves forward.

Thursday 10th September 2020

This week in class we have been thinking about our class charter and how we can respect each others rights. We looked at some of the rights and which were most relevant to our class at the moment. When we had chosen the rights we wanted to focus on, we wrote our class charter which everyone in class has signed.

We have also written our own class prayer.

 Hello Year Three!

We hope you're as excited as we are for a new school year!

We are looking forward to meeting and teaching all of you.

We've attached the Autumn newsletter and mind map which gives an overview of what we will be
studying this term.

Article 30. You have the right to practice your own culture, language and religion - or any you choose

The topic focus in year 3 this term is 'The Stone Age'.

Whilst covering this topic, we will be combining our learning with other areas of the curriculum such as Literacy, Science, History, Art, D.T and Music!
