What's been happening in 3B this term. . .
In 3B this term first we had CALC week. In CALC we made hands that on the fingers we wrote words like "friendship" and "environment". Then CALC week was finished.
Later on in the term a hockey clinic came to the school. 3B had a wonderful time doing that. Not long after we had a tennis clinic. We enjoyed that but not as much as the hockey clinics.
Towards the end of the term we did another CALC activity. We split into groups labelled 1 through to 12. Each group dressed 2 kids up in newspaper costumes made by the other kids in the group. For example, some groups made princess costumes of Wookie costumes and things like that. Much later in the term we started doing the Queens Writing Competition. We have all had a go at writing for all of the four tasks so we have a great selection of works for our teachers to choose from.
It has been a great term!

Bridge Building in Science
Hello everyone in 3B!
Last week in science we completed an interesting engineering task where we investigated "what makes a strong bridge".
We had several goes at this task after watching a presentation about various kinds of bridges and structures around the world. We then made our structures out of paper and tested their weight bearing properties using plastic building cubes. Some of structures held more than 100 cubes!
Tehmi said "I liked how everybody work together in our group in the end. . . we had a few arguments about what the best structure would be but we managed it in the end."
Georgia said, "I liked how we all tried out different strategies, even if one didn't work then you could always have a go at another one."
"The interesting part was finding out about how forces could help hold up the bridge." Josh commented as we discussed our findings during the week.
Perhaps we have some budding engineers in 3B!
