Science
We have a very exciting and interesting science curriculum in Year 3.
Our topics include 'How does your garden grow?', 'Seeds!' , 'Let there be light' , 'May the force be with you!', 'Rock stars' and 'Keeping healthy.'
We encourage all of our children to think scientifically through: designing experiments, thinking about fair testing, observing carefully, measuring with increasing accuracy, recording results , making conclusions and making links with their learning.
In the spring and summer term, We have been exploring plants and understanding their needs to thrive. Through designing experiments and ensuring that they are fair tests, the children have been looking at the roles of different parts of plants. We have explored how photosynthesis is used to create food and how plants use pollination to reproduce. Our most recent experiment involved looking the the role of light in plant growth by creating mazes for seeds to follow to the light.
