Reading for Pleasure
SPECTACULAR SCIENCE
Attract or Repel?
Does the size of a magnet affect how strong it is?
We have been looking at comparative and fair testing in our science lessons. We made sure our investigation was fair by using the same amount of paperclips and repeating our test to make sure our results were accurate.
We predicted that the large horseshoe magnet would be the strongest magnet but we were surprised to discover the ring magnet was the strongest!
Testing whether materials are magnetic or non-magnetic
WORKING SCIENTIFICALLY: Grouping and Classifying Rocks
Rock Detectives
We went on a hunt around our school grounds to see what rocks we could find. We explored the texture of rocks and thought of different adjectives to describe rocks.
AMAZING ART
We loved decorating our Indian elephants after learning all about the Indian elephant festival Hastimangala!
We are really proud of our writing in Year 3!
