Y3K Science Week, by Mrs Harris
Date: 13th Mar 2025 @ 9:07pm
Science Week Fun! 🔬🌍
This year’s Science Week theme is ‘Adapt and Change’, and we’ve had some great discussions about the many ways we adapt—whether it’s as simple as wearing warmer clothes in winter or how animals have evolved to survive in their environments.
The children worked in pairs to match animals with their unique adaptations, then chose their favourite animal to create an informative poster showcasing what they learned. It’s been a fantastic way to explore the amazing ways living things change to thrive! 🦁🐧🌿

Year 3K Rocks Workshop, by Mrs Harris
Date: 4th Mar 2025 @ 8:52pm
Year 3K had a fantastic time investigating rocks with Mr Ravenscroft from Hi-impact today!
We used our scientific enquiry skills to carry out 5 different investigations.
1. Examining rocks with a magnifying glass and talking about what we could see.
2. A Scratch test: We attempted to scratch the rocks with tools to see how hard/soft they were.
3. Absorbency test: We used a digital scale to weigh the rock before and after dipping in water to measure how much was absorbed.
4. Acid test: We used a pipette to drop hydrochloric acid onto the rock and observe what happened.
5. Fossils hunt! We looked through the fossil boxes to identify fossils and then classified them by type.
A brilliant way to start our new science topic. Fantastic work Year 3!
Y3M Rock Workshop, by Mrs Harris
Date: 4th Mar 2025 @ 8:39pm
Year 3M had a fantastic time at their 'Rocks' workshop with Mr. Ravenscroft. They examined rocks with magnifying glasses, tested their hardness with scratch tests, checked absorbency by weighing them before and after adding water, and experimented with hydrochloric acid. They also went on a fossil hunt to identify different types of fossils. The day even included a pancake break—because even scientists need a treat! A fun and educational day for all.

Year 3K had a fun afternoon learning about the human skeleton! We learnt that the human body is made up of 206 bones! We borrowed a body (thanks Locklyn!) and labelled some key bones such as the skull, rib cage, spine, pelvis and femur. We learnt that the skeleton helps to protect our organs, helps our bodies to move and provides support.

Year 3 Egyptian Bazaar, by Mrs Harris
Date: 28th Jan 2025 @ 9:56pm
Year 3 have been working towards writing a settling description of an Egyptian Bazaar, based on our focus text 'Flat Stanley'. To help us use our senses to describe, we turned our classroom into a Bazaar! This morning, the children became 'Stanley' and explored the bazaar, thinking about what they could see, hear, smell, feel and taste. We then focused on exciting vocabulary to describe. Well done year 3!
