In Year Three, our new science topic is called Movement and Nutrition. This week, the children learned, and have started to use, an impressive range of scientific vocabulary! The children looked at vertebrates and invertebrates as well as some creatures with an endoskeleton and exoskeleton. They…

This morning, the children in Hedgehogs were transported into space!

We climbed inside the Stardome and were taken on a journey through space. We explored our different neighbouring planets and talked about their atmospheres. We then began to discuss the different ways in which we can search…

Team Hedgehogs had a wonderful time at the Think Tank, exploring all things SCIENCE. 

The children were able to explore the Science Garden, Wildlife and Marine Worlds, the Spitfire Gallery, All About Me and much more! They ended the day with an amazing chemistry show which was a enjoyed by…

This week, Team Daffodils have enjoyed exploring different parts of the school field. They've built houses out of the cut grass, worked as a team to move heavy objects and taken it in turns to push each other in the cars. We've also enjoyed an outdoor snack and tried some more summery…

In Science this week, we have been investigating forces, and have used our knowledge to create wind-powered pulley systems! We worked in small teams making windmills, attaching string, cups, straws and paperclips together to create an amazing pulley system. We were amazed to see the windmill…

Team Meadow have been learning about the life cycle of a plant. They recreated this life cycle using role play to represent the different stages. 

We welcomed the parents into our "in the garden" workshop. Where we planted seeds and explored the outdoor environment.
 

The children have been learning and understanding the process in which a caterpillar takes in order to become a butterfly. 
 

This week in our science in Team Badgers, we have been learning about the different parts of a plant and their function.  We learnt about the importance of each part and how it contributes to the healthy growth of the plant. We made posters to show our learning use real life plants!

In Science, Team Meadow have been using secondary sources to research diffferent animals. We then created fact files using the information we had collected. 

To celebrate STEM Day, Meadow were given a challenge to plan and create a bird nest! They're mission was to ensure that birds' eggs were to be kept safe and warm in a nest. They worked really hard together as a team to create the shape and then to fill it using the correct materials such as twigs,…
