We have bee learning about plants in Y3, what the different parts are, and what they need to grow. As part of our work, we have set up several investigations as well as planting out own seeds. We found that cress doesn't need soil to grow! As part of our work on instructions, we grew and made sandwiches out of our cress. We enjoyed eating these sandwiches (some more than others!)

Plants

Year 3 had a fabulous morning taking part in a carousel of gymnastics activities. We worked alongside other local schools to showcase what we have been working on.

We have had lots of fun learning about life in the Stone Age. We used the book 'UG' to think about how we could make life better for him. We found out how life was different in the Stone Age, they didn't even have TV's! We used materials found in nature to create cave art, and we designed and made Stonehenge using biscuits. Yummy!

Stone Age

W had fun learning about the three different rocks types. We used chocolate to reproduce how metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks are created. e eve got to eat our creations afterwards!

As part of our WW1 topic fortnight, we went for a walk down Tow Street to see how it has changed over 100 years. We were surprised to find that it hasn't changed all that much.

As part of our WW1 theme week, we had a visit from children's author Robert Bullock. His latest book is set in WW2. He read extracts from his book and our challenge was to continue the story through a radio broadcast.

We spent time looking at Badger Wood and the problem that its residents are faced with. A new road is to be built!!!!! We researched which animals would live in the wood and thought of the different reasons why the road should not be built. Can we save Badger Wood?

In celebration of the Hindu festival of lights 'Diwali', we spent a day making Diva lamps, creating our own Rangoli patterns, researching the festival, and sampling some of the treats that would be eaten at this time of the year.
