Today we looked at reversible and irreversible changes. We could explain and sort changes really well too and remembered a lot from last year! We then predicted what would happen if we mixed bicarbonate of soda (a solid) with vinegar ( a liquid) and we got to see the making of a gas-carbon dioxide-we were amazed when the balloon inflated! We were even more
This week we have been looking at our new story, The Gruffalo. We have made Gruffalo masks, role played as different characters from the book and created our own sentences. In maths, we have been learning about place value and have been counting, matching numbers with words and also finding one more and one less than a number.
This week, Year 3 became geologists in our science lesson. We were sent a VERY important letter from Sunderland City Council asking us to test a variety of rocks for the new statue they are planning to build in the city centre. We tested if they were scratch proof, water proof and hard wearing. The children loved getting hands on and decided that granite would be the best option for the statue.

Today we looked at a range of materials and looked at whether they were magnetic, flexible and an electrical conductor (to name a few!) We had a great time using the circuit components and magnets!
Our new Science topic in Year 3 is Rocks & Fossils. We began the topic allowing children to explore a variety of different rocks. The children worked together to group the rocks in different ways. Some children thought about their appearance whereas some thought about their weight. The children really enjoyed working practically today.
Year 1 have settled back into school brilliantly and we are so proud of all of you. We have enjoyed completing some number jobs, drawing and painting our portraits, and talking about our families. Take a look at what we’ve been up to…
