Scotswood Gardens

11th May 2022L Forster

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

When arriving in Scotswood Gardens, we gathered in a circle in the woods. Then we discussed and created actions to the life cycle of a flowering plant.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We then created a giant model of a plant and found pieces to represent the different parts of the flowering plant. After that, we looked around the gardens and found flowering plants to find the different parts on an actual plant.

We then explored the entire gardens to collect pollen – using sticky bees on our fingers. We even found the bee hives that the gardens looks after. There was 50,000 bees in each hive, with one queen that lays 2,000 eggs a day!

After dinner the children were allowed to explore the woods through a variety of activities, such as: den building; clay model making; potion making from the herb garden; mini-beast collecting; and making plant pots to take home a plant.

To end our day, we lay on the ground and listened to the sounds of the forest. The children said they felt ‘calm’ and ‘free’ when working in or listening to the forest.

How living things grow…

28th April 2022Ms A Emmerson

To begin our new topic we have planted sunflower seeds. We are going to water them every day and make sure they have enough sunlight to grow. We cannot wait to observe the changes this half term!

Signs of Spring!

25th March 2022J Twigge

Spring is on its way and to a keen observer, the earliest signs of the changing seasons are everywhere.  Many of us love to watch nature waking after winter.

Spring is a busy time for trees, they are ready to burst into leaves when there’s enough sunlight.

As our season is changing from Winter to Spring, we have been learning about the signs of Spring.

This week we went for a walk around out school grounds to see if we could find any of the signs of Spring.

We saw buds on the trees, bees and butterflies, daffodils blooming and daisies growing.

We saw our first sign of a bumblebees and butterflies, Spring is definitely on its way!

Animals Including Humans

13th March 2022Miss A Samuels

Year 3 have been enjoying their new science topic ‘Animals Including Humans’. This week we have been learning about animals diets and what they eat in order to survive. We learnt that animals can be put into 3 different groups based on the types of food they eat. Some animals are called Carnivores because they only eat meat. Other animals are called Herbivores and they only eat plants. Animals that eat both meat and plants are called Omnivores. We created a venn diagram of herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. In groups, we sorted different animals into the 3 groups based on the food they eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our science lesson and we are looking forward to our next science lesson where we will be learning about the different skeleton types!

Microhabitats Y2L.

11th March 2022H Langley

In Science this week, Y2L have been looking at microhabitats. We decided to go on a mini-beast hunt around the school, looking for different microhabitats where living things may be surviving. It was fantastic observing all of the mini-beasts and thinking about why they were suited to their environment.

Testing materials

8th March 2022L Forster

Following on from last week’s lesson about material properties, we then explored different materials and tested their properties.

We tested 5 materials from the feely bags for: magnetism, hardness, flexability and transparency – which posed a question of materials being transparent or translucent. Some of the materials were translucent (such as cloth) but the investigation was looking at transparency, so they got a N (for no).

Science – Materials and their properties

3rd March 2022L Forster

In science, we used feely-bags to describe materials based on their properties, so the rest of our group could guess what material we were feeling.

How Sound Travels

16th February 2022R Errington

We’ve started learning all about how sounds are produced and how they travel. We loved making our own string telephones and testing them out. Some of us even tapped into other people’s conversations!

Science in Year 3!

21st January 2022C Whitehead

We have been learning about light in Year 3. This week we experimented with transparent, translucent and opaque materials to see if the light from a torch would pass through them or block the light. We then created our own windows using different materials and displayed them on our window to see when the sun shines on them if the light will travel through or be blocked. Take a look at our classroom windows to see our work!
