Year 3/4

The pupils in Lower KS2 really enjoyed Harry from Southern Water coming in this week to talk about sewers. The photos really grossed us all out!! We learnt with games and quizzes some important information about protecting our planet. Did you know a sewer pipe is only 10cm wide? And we must only flush the 3 P's down the drains... pee, poo and paper!

Today we performed our Tudor dances in PE!

This week we were lucky enough to have a STEM workshop run by Millie's parents in year 3/4. The pupils enjoyed a workshop where they had to get a Lego car across a paper bridge. But the problem was that paper is not a strong material.... or is it?! The different ways we folded the paper increased its strength. We also investigated how circles and triangles are much stronger than squares and rectangles.  The pupils were all awarded an engineering certificate and had a wonderful time. Thank you to Waterman Aspen and Ramboll companies for coming in to inspire us.

It was wonderful to see the 3/4s show off their writing skills this week in the style of the Iron Man. They wrote in the style of the book, using prepositions, similes and dialogue. The setting descriptions were wonderful. Well done 3/4!

It was wonderful today to walk to the Little Common and identify British trees by their leaves. This was taught in previous years but it can be hard to remember, so we revisited our learning. It was so fun looking at the environment around us, discussing seasonal changes and showing respect for our local area.
