Year 3 Science
This week Year 3 celebrated the start of their new Science topic: How does your garden grow? by planting their own seeds. We each planted a sunflower, cornflower and some lettuce. After learning about photosynthesis, we know that our plants will need air (to get carbon dioxide), water and sunlight. We also discovered why leaves are green! “Leaves are green because they contain a chemical called chlorophyll,” explained Micah. “Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight so plants can photosynthesise to make food,” said Aaron.
Welcome to Classes 7 and 8
Shaun the sheep workshop
Year 3 loved learning how to make Shaun the Sheep under the guidance of Jim from Aardman Animations.
It was trickier than we thought but we produced some amazing Shauns!
Micah said “I enjoyed putting all the different things together.”
Danny said “it was fun making plasticine look fluffy!”
The Night Box
Year 3 have been so inspired by the book ‘The Night Box’ that some children have created their own night boxes and stories.
Patrick made the ‘Big Dipper’ star constellation as part of his homework project on Stars.
We had fun using the mini-abacus to make our number bonds to 100.
