Soundscapes in Year 3

Year 3 have been working on using tuned and untuned percussion to create our own soundscapes. Within these lessons we have been focussing on creating layers by using different dynamics and tempos to create different effects. Year 3 have absolutely loved their new topic!

Stone Age Toilet Roll Timelines in Year 3

In Year 3 this week we began our Stone Age topic. To try and understand how long ago this was, we rolled out some toilet paper and used it as timeline. Each sheet of toilet roll represented 1000 years, and we couldn’t believe how long ago time went back. We also talked about prehistory and […]

Plant Experiments in Year 3

The plants have been kept in the same conditions, given the same amount of water (20ml a day), and placed in the same place on our windowsill. Each day, the children have recorded their observations, which include looking […]

They set themselves a challenge to create the most reflective mirror using foil and had to find creative ways to make the smoothest surface. Next, they tested them out using different light sources. They had a lot of fun setting up […]
