Year 3 - Forces Immersion Day


Last week, Year 3 took part in our 'Forces Immersion Day'. We did a variety of activities that helped us to learn about the different forces that are at work around us everyday. We learnt about gliders with Mr Kirner and thought about how different materials would increase air resistance creating better wings that would make our gliders stay airborne for longer. With Ms Dalton, we created magnet mazes, constructing mazes and seeing if we could navigate our way around them. Mr Cartlidge taught us how to write haikus about force. A haiku is a style of poetry from Japan the only uses seventeen syllables in a 5-7-5 structure. Mr Gunnoo did a dance workshop on forces vocabulary such as 'attract', 'repel' 'orbit' etc...
