Today we learnt about animal habitats and discussed similarities and differences between our homes to theirs. We learnt where different animals live and had a go at making our own habitats.

Year 3 Glow Day Crew, Maths and Science

6th October 2023Mrs Graves

We had great day glowing today!

In crew we were thinking about “What makes me glow” and we had some great suggestions from being with family, to doing well at sport.

We enjoyed some glow maths, with a game of ‘Bin-glow’ and a Glowing Maths Facts pair work challenge, where we tested what we have learnt about place value over the last few weeks.

After a lovely lunch, we worked as scientists and investigated light and darkness – what are light sources and what is darkness. Did you know, the moon is NOT a light source! We then conducted our own scientific experiments, investigating whether temperature affects how brightly a glow stick glows, what does light look like when broken down into its separate colours and how does tonic water glow in the dark.

We had a great first ever Glow Day

Fruit/Vegetable Tasting

26th September 2023Amy Wood-Samways

In expedition we looked at the story Oliver’s vegetable. We then spoke about how we know if is a fruit or a vegetable before trying some fruit and veg ourselves. I was so proud of each and every member of our crew, as everybody tried every single piece of fruit and veg. Some children then recorded whether they liked it with a happy/sad face whilst others showed me with either a thumbs up or down.

Hot/cold Weather Clothes

21st September 2023Amy Wood-Samways

In expedition we have been looking at what clothes we would wear in the Autumn when it is getting colder and what clothes we would wear on a hot summers day. The children did really well at helping me to sort the items of clothing into two hoops.

Space Workshop

7th June 2023Rebecca Bubb

As part of our learning about Mae Jemison, we had Jenny visit us from Alfresco Learning. We worked in mini crews to make and launch space rockets. We used plastic bottles for the rockets, water for the fuel and pumped air in to them to launch them. We listened carefully to the instructions and safety rules so we could have lots of fun learning! We had a great game of space tig and then made constellations. What a fun morning!

3.2.1 BLAST OFF!

7th June 2023Joshua Meade

Today we had fun with Alfresco Learning and the Science experts! We made our own rockets and launched rockets that blasted into space like Mae Jemison. We learnt about how rockets work and the constellation of stars in space. It was great fun! We are scientists! #LovePlover

Magna Field Trip

21st April 2023Mrs Graves

We are looking forward to our field trip to Magna today.

Please arrive in school promptly at the normal time of 8:45, we will be setting off at 9am.

Please wear sensible, comfortable shoes or trainers , as there will be quite a lot of walking and going up and down stairs.

Please bring a coat as it can be very cold inside the old building, even when it warm outside. There is also a chance you might get a little bit wet in the water zone.

Please remember your packed lunch and a drink. Lunches will be safely stored and will not have to be carried around.

Remember we will be returning to school for 4pm.

See you all soon,

Mrs Graves

Goodbye butterflies

29th March 2023Mrs Price

We set the butterflies free today. The children were very excited as the butterflies came out of the net. They watched as they flew away. They made lots of comments about their beautiful wings.
