Measurement Olympics

Wednesday we had a little fun and put our math measuring skills to the test during the grade 3 "Measurement Olympics"!  Here's a little sample of a few of the events, including standing long jump, straw javelin throw, paper plate discus.

Guitars at the assembly

On Monday the grade 3s performed "Down By The Bay" on their very own cracker box guitars that they made in science! So cool!  Miss Ramsden, our music teacher really is amazing!  Science and music in one!
