Year 3: Science, DT and computing at the end of the week.

 At the end of this week we have started our new Science topic on plants. Today we were looking at a zoomed in picture. Using our Scientific skills of questioning and reasoning the children made guesses to what they thought this was. Can you guess it? 

That's right, it's roots! We then spent some time looking at the roots system of a number of different plants. 

In DT this afternoon we learnt about seasonal foods and made a Japanese fruit skewer (minus the Lychee). 

In Computing we followed the instructions in a flowchart to make our sprite move on a page by pressing a button. 

This afternoon your child should have come home with a plastic folder with their name on. This is their home learning folder. Every week we will put home learning, spellings and their reading records in there. Please can these be completed and returned by the following Friday. This week there is no home learning just spellings. Next week the children will receive their new reading records, AR numbers along with books from the library. If your child is in a RWI group they should have come home with a book today. RWI spelling groups have spellings in their home learning folders. 

We hope you have an amazing weekend.
