Land art and magnets!

This week in Year 3 we have had Rob in with us for a session on land art. Rob is a chainsaw artist who is very skilled in using the outside environment in his work. The children had to make a piece of art using inspiration from the artist Andy Goldsworthy. There were some fantastic results.

Also this week we have been investigating with magnets. Year 3 investigated 'Are all coins magnet? Prove it'. They worked in groups to find out the coins that are magnetic and the ones that are not. I wonder if your child can remember the differences in coins and why some 2p and 1p are magnetic and why some aren't?  If you look at the Science page of our knowledge organisers you can see everything that we are currently covering on magnets. We are using the terminology or attract, repel and north and south poles.
