3SG Wildlife Park Field Trip

5th March 2024Mrs Graves

We had a fantastic time on Thursday at the Wildlife Park.

The Polar Bear Workshop was really informative and it was great to get ‘hands-on’ with a polar bear skull, claws and footprints.

We then saw the real life polar bears – they were huge and tucking into their breakfast!

As a lucky bonus we also got a glimpse of the baby rhino – it was so cute, but didn’t stay out for long – I think we scared it off, as we were so excited to see it!!

The field trip will really help us with our writing – so look out for our persuasive texts!

We would love for you to join us next week on the 13th March at 1:30, when we put into action what we have learnt in our ‘Activism March’ to save the polar bears!

I was very proud of how the children behaved on what was a long and tiring day.

Super Scientists in 3SG

5th March 2024Mrs Graves

We have been investigating forces in 3SG this is week, to find out if the surface an object travels on changes how it moves.

We conducted a ‘fair test’ and had some interesting results. Overall, we decided that a flat smooth object moves further when travelling on a smooth flat surface. We found out that this is because when there is more friction, the object cannot travel as far.

World Wildlife Day

29th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to join a live, online lesson yesterday to build our background knowledge of the world’s biomes. It was great to see how much our children have learnt about the Arctic during this expedition.

I wonder if your child can tell you something new that they learnt from this opportunity.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park

29th February 2024Josie Farrow

Today, Year 3 went on a trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We saw lot’s of animals, including some very playful polar bears. We also went to a polar bear work shop, and got to learn more about polar bears and climate change.

3SG are safe and ready

28th February 2024Mr Schofield

In preparation for our field work, we have been looking at how risk assessments work and agreeing on rules for safety when we are out and about.

It was lovely to see lots of great ideas being shared from the groups, then collaborating as a class to agree on our best rules to keep safe on our trip.

3SG Haka in P.E.

28th February 2024Mr Schofield

3SG had great fun working in groups to create their own Haka (a ceremonial dance of the Maori people) as part of our dance module in PE.

It was great to see your ideas and scary faces!

We are scientists

27th February 2024Josie Farrow

Today, we conducted a scientific experiment to see what sides of the magnet attract and repel each other. We also found out that Earth is one big magnet, because there is iron in the middle of Earth.
