Year 3K Geography, by Mrs Harris

Date: 30th Jun 2024 @ 8:49pm

'Fieldwork Fortnight'! Year 3K enjoyed taking part and spending their Geography lesson outside of the classroom finding things out for themselves. Our goal was to find the best location for a new 'Sustainable Garden' within our school grounds. We thought about what a sustainable garden could include and then followed an aerial map of our school to make observations and collect data. 

Our research questions were 

1. Is the location big enough?

2. Is it peaceful and quiet?

3. Will it attract wildlife?

4. Can it be accessed easily by all?

5. Would there be any other problems with this location?

After deciding on the most suitable location, the children then began to design their own 'sustainable garden'. 

The children really impressed Miss Kealey with their careful and thoughtful planning. Well done Year 3K.

Year 3 have had fun investigating shadows recently. Our Enquiry Question was ‘What do you Notice about Shadows?’

We thought about what equipment we would need, how we were going to conduct our experiment and what our predictions would be. 

We then conducted our our experiments then compared our results to our predictions.

Important Message, by Mrs Harris

Date: 25th Jun 2024 @ 10:12pm

Families, just a little reminder that if your child brings grapes, olives, cherry tomatoes, or even cocktail sausages to school as a snack or as part of their lunch, they should always be cut lengthways so they can pass more easily through smaller throats. And never widthways, because they’ll still be big enough to choke on.

This includes any pre packed grapes, olives or cherry tomatoes that are brought to school in a supermarket box

Thank you 😊😊😊
