Hello Year Three families
Our pupils enjoyed an exciting and educational trip to River Lab in Wareham, where they had the opportunity to become real-life scientists for the day!
Throughout the visit, the children explored the fascinating world of rivers, habitats and wildlife through a range of hands-on activities. They worked collaboratively to investigate the local environment, collect samples and observe a variety of creatures that live in and around freshwater habitats.
One of the highlights of the day was taking part in practical fieldwork. The children used specialist equipment to explore the river environment, identify different species and learn more about how living things depend on healthy ecosystems. They showed great curiosity, enthusiasm and teamwork as they carried out their investigations.
The visit also provided a wonderful opportunity to develop scientific enquiry skills, including observing, questioning, classifying and recording findings. Pupils were encouraged to think like scientists, making predictions and discussing their discoveries with confidence.
It was fantastic to see the children so engaged in their learning and making meaningful connections between their classroom studies and the natural world around them. Their behaviour throughout the day was exemplary and they represented The Prince of Wales School brilliantly.
A huge thank you to the staff at River Lab (including Bournemouth University and the FBA) for providing such an inspiring learning experience and to our volunteers who helped make the trip possible - a special mention must go to Dan Franklin who bought this trip to fruition.
We are incredibly proud of all the children and look forward to building on their learning back in the classroom.
Have a wonderful weekend!
The Year 3 Team
