Balancing, Building and Blowing-a great transfer day for new Year 3s.

The new Year 3 children certainly impressed their teachers on their first day in Year 3. On the hottest day of the year, they did not let the heat stop their determination to complete all the challenges they were set. They started by showing off their maths, letting their teachers know some interesting maths facts about themselves. They then moved on to some difficult team challenges-balancing dice on the tip of a lolly stick and building a tower out of spaghetti that could free stand whilst balancing a marshmallow. The children worked brilliantly together, helping each other patiently and setting some impressive class records.

In the afternoon, we thought about our worries and fears and, after a short story, drew some impressive scared faces. The hair was then created by blowing paint with a straw to create that crazy, messy-terrified look. Take a look at all the fun we had;-
