In year 3 and 4 science, we have been learning about digestion and even pretended to BE food, moving through the digestive system. We can now name the organs involved and some of their functions. Well done 3/ 4.
A big thank you to Dr Chapman and his fellow scientist Anastasia who came in to talk to year 3 and 4 today.
This week in RE, year 3 and 4 reflected on the concept of 'peace'. We discussed what it made us think of and designed our own new world symbols that represented peace on Earth. Take a look at some of these!
Recently we have been lucky enough to have some super scientists visit us in 3/4. On Monday we had a 'silly scientist' from the Education group come in and talk to us on the three points of a fire triangle, solids liquids and gases and how air can expand with heat. His experiments were so fun! On Tuesday we had Professor Ivan Haigh and his PHD student Sunke from Southampton Oceanography centre talk to us about how small environmental changes can make a big difference. It was eye opening to see how our planet is changing and how we can help with tackling climate change. We all went home with a warming/ biodiversity stripe plus the feeling that we CAN make a positive difference. Thank you to all our visitors :)
Bevin from Australasia planned and delivered a wonderful and interesting talk on some Parami cards he had. He explained Dhamma and went though the key skills. It was interesting to see so many similarities of values between this and other religions. Thanks Bevin, you spoke so proudly and educated us all.
This term in science we are classifying living things. We performed research on the computers looking into body structure, diet, habitat etc. We then made classification keys. We had a lot of fun recapping previous learning such as omnivores, carnivores and herbivores then devloping our knowledge futher learning about vertbrates and invertebrates. It was wonderful to see the pupils working in pairs and small groups so well as they researched safely.
Today the pupils had a DT day whereby they designed different varieties of scones, flatbreads and muffins. They practised techniques like rolling, mixing and measuring. They chose their ingredients and evaluated them afterwards, proposing what they would do differently next time.
In year 3 and 4 we have been enjoying writing diary entries from the perspective of Varjack Paw (by SF Said). It has been wonderful to use a range of emotive language and similes to retell parts of the book. Well done year 3 and 4!
Year 3 and 4 have begun their new science topic on forces. We began our learning with exploring force measuring instruments and seeing how much force (in Newtons) needs to be exerted in a 'pull' of our shoe across a variety of surfaces. It was great fun to go all around the school, even outside to test our own experiments.
