The children in Form III are very creative and have excellent thinking skills. During their first thinking lesson of the new school year, they designed their own Olympic mascot. They even suggested reasons why the real Olympic mascot (Wenlock) looks the way that he does.

Did you know that the light on his head represents the light on top of London taxis?

This term, Form 3 have been learning songs and playing games with a little French clown called Zozo, who travels in a hot air balloon with Moustique, his cat, and Fleur, the flower who sits in his hat.

On Wednesday May 18th, the children proudly performed ‘Zozo’s French Party’ for an invited audience of parents and grandparents.  They had learned their parts well, and performed with confidence and enthusiasm. It was a lot of fun for everyone!

We found out lots of interesting things! Did you know that Lord and Lady Clifford employed a servant to get into their bed to warm it up at night before they got in?

The children in Form III have been experimenting with magnets. They were presented with a number of different objects and asked to predict which would be magnetic and which would not. Next they tested each object using a magnet.

Everyone had a great time and learnt a lot too! They found out that not all metals are magnetic and that the strength of a magnet does not depend on its size.

The children in Form III are studying a science topic called, ‘Characteristics of Materials.’

Everyone had a great time playing ‘Chase the Materials.’ They had to follow instructions which had been placed around the Science room in order to discover what many natural materials are made into.

Did you know that sand is made into glass?

In anticipation of the opening of the Confucius classroom, Form III made tangrams.

The children loved this activity which incorporated both numeracy and thinking skills.

Form III are learning about teeth and eating in science.

On Monday 4^th October Dr Zaman came to visit us and told us lots of important information about looking after our teeth. He also showed us what happens when people don’t look after their teeth!  He gave all the children a ‘goody bag’ with tooth brushes, toothpaste, timers and all kinds of lovely things to help them look after their teeth.

Did you know that horses’ teeth never stop growing?

Form III have been learning about teeth and eating in science. The children learnt that there are three different sources of energy in our diets- fats, carbohydrates and protein. They conducted an experiment to compare two of them- fats and carbohydrates. They noticed that oil is not soluble in water, whereas sugar is!

Form III children have been working on their measurement skills. They can measure straight lines accurately to ½ cm using a ruler. Today they have been working with wool to measure curved lines. As part of the exercise they have measured ‘Snakes and Ladders’ on a worksheet which they will be making into a game later.

Form III pupils have been looking at different food groups in science; they tasted coconut, fruit, bread, salad vegetables and different cheeses. Today a pupil brought in some Victoria plums from their plum tree. All the children tried them and agreed that they were really fresh and delicious.
