Y3- Science week fun!

I hope you enjoyed the start of our plastic themed Science week?! On display in the hall way the children made the crabs, seahorses and starfish.


 On Monday morning we had a talk from Professor Stentiford from CEFAS. We lean't all about taxonomy and how to group species. All of the children then had to work through a set of questions to find out the name of the sea creatures.

After this we then worked with Tom and James from the Watercress Company. The children were the first children to experiment with pea shoot seeds. We are trialling growing the seeds in agar jelly! These will come home with you tomorrow. Please keep them in the sunlight. In a few days the roots will shoot and you can then place them in to a larger pot. Eventually you will get some delicious pea shoots.

Finally on Monday afternoon we worked with Dorset Waste Partnership and looked at an experiment using an old cd, felt tips and a marble. I wonder which children could tell their parents about this?

Today (Tuesday) we went on our community litter pick. All of the adults were extremely proud of the children in the class as they showed so much enthusiasm and passion to clean their town. We were shocked at how much rubbish we collected! In our rubbish alone we had 93 crisp packets, 10 glass bottles and 39 plastic bottles!

Tomorrow we will be doing some more outdoor learning. We have said that the children can wear their Forest School clothes when they get in to school.
