In English this week the year 3 children have been writing a non-chronological report about wolves. Today they got to share their wonderful work with some year 5 and 6 children before listening to the older children read to them. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the year 5 and 6 children learnt a lot about wolves from the younger ones!

In Science, we have been learning about trees. We learned that deciduous trees lose their leaves in the winter and evergreen trees keep their leaves all year round. We also learned the names of some common types of tree, like horse chestnut, oak, holly and pine and found out that we can look at the shape of the leaves on a tree to find out what it is. We then went on a tree hunt around the school, looking for common types of trees and taking a picture of their leaves with the iPads.
Unlike Miss Gibson I am sure that we will have a lot of green thumbs in year 3. This week we have planned and made our mini greenhouses. Using fruit punnets, tape, glue, lolly sticks and cling film the children got busy creating their own greenhouses. Like all greenhouses we needed plants, so we have used mustard and cress seeds along with cotton wool. We can't wait to hear about how well all the plants have grown.
