Shadow Investigators
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
In science this week, we carried out a scientific investigation based on shadows. The focus of our scientific enquiry was based on comparison and fair testing. We wanted to find out what happens to a shadow when a light source is close to an opaque object and when it is further away. We found out as a class that a shadow is larger when the light source is closer to the object. The children all worked brilliantly in groups, using fantastic measuring skills and ensuring their testing was fair.
Snow!

The children loved exploring the snow on Thursday and admiring the stunning environment that greeted us!
Reflective materials

We have been investigating what reflection is as well as exploring which materials are reflective. We gave each material a score out of 5 and then ranked them in order from most reflective to the least. Foil was the most reflective with black card being the least.
Our final pieces of art work ❤️

Last week we finally finished our painting and sewing unit of art based on the work of Alice Kettle. The children thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this topic and would have spent many more hours sewing, adding further detail if they could! It was wonderful to build on the excellent sewing skills, the children already had from key stage one to create these final pieces. We are very proud to display our work in the classroom. Next half term, we will build on these 
BBC CHILDREN IN NEED DAY

We had a wonderful day raising money for BBC Children in Need even though we had to run around the playground for 20 minutes solid! It was all for a great cause, and real perseverance was shown by all with lots of encouragement along the way. Thank you to everyone who donated and for the added spots!
