Year 3 have been investigating friction in our science lessons this week. We set up an investigation comparing how far a toy car would travel on different surfaces then recorded our results in a table. Ask your child which surface allowed the car to travel the furthest and why.

We have had 2 days of prehistory active learning this week; first we had a wonderful visit from a person from the Stone Age and an archaeologist on Wednesday then today we have spent the whole day outside completing Stone Age inspired activities as part of our forest school.  

Year 3 have started their first science topic of key stage two; rocks and soils. They have been studying different rocks and can already describe the 3 different types of rocks; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.

Year 3 have been busy taste-testing, designing, making and evaluating healthy sandwiches. They were thoughtful when scoring taste, texture, smell and presentation of bread and salad items. Their plans included exploded diagrams of bread and sandwich contents alongside thoughts on how to be innovative! They had tremendous fun putting the sandwiches together on Thursday and enjoying a picnic together in the playground.

We are so proud of the Year 3 children for putting on such a fantastic performance!
