World Book Day Potato Dress Up
Prep 3 were busy on World Book Day showing off their costumes and their potato competition entries. Well done to everyone!
Big Birdwatch
In Prep 3 we have been very busy learning about the winter weather. We have carried out a scientific investigation about freezing liquids and learnt about how we can look after the birds in our local area during winter. To follow up our study of birds we took part in the Annual RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch. We were joined by Catherine from the RSPB who helped us to recognise and identify the different birds when we were collecting data. Afterwards the girls had great fun creating bar graphs and then we submitted this important data to the RSPB scientists to analyse along with other school's data across the UK. Catherine also very kindly donated a bird feeder to help us feed our local small birds. The Prep 3 girls chose to hang it in our playground, maybe we will catch a glimpse of some birds having some food soon.
Animal Magic
In Prep 3 we have begun our new topic “Animal Magic” and have been learning about the plants and the animals that live in our school grounds and within our local area. We recently had a Bio-Blitz workshop with the RSPB where we were looking for minibeasts and identifying their habitat conditions. We also observed, identified and measured some trees in our grounds. One of the oak trees we measured was over 106 years old! It was lots of fun!
Budding artists in Prep 3
In relation to their Seaside topic, Prep 3 have been making beautiful artwork using materials such as sand, paint, and sequins to create fantastic sea scenes and sea animals. Through these, they have also worked on their research and numeracy skills!
Our Prep 3 Scientific Investigators
Prep 3 made a beach in their classroom for their scientfic investigation. They learned about how pollution, particularly litter, affects our beaches and oceans.
