Year 3 Are Thinking Like Scientists!

This term, Year 3 have been having lots of fun learning about the fascinating world of living things. We've been exploring what makes something living, non-living, or once living, and have loved sharing our ideas and asking questions about the world around us.

As part of our learning, we've also been investigating how scientists classify different things. We've had a go at sorting and grouping objects based on their features, just like real scientists do! It’s been exciting to think scientifically and look more closely at the details that help us tell things apart.

Next, we’ll be diving deeper into the animal kingdom to learn how animals are classified, and we can’t wait to discover all the amazing ways animals are grouped based on their characteristics.

Year 3 are well on their way to becoming expert classifiers!

Year 4

This week in Year 4, we've been diving into the fascinating world of the water cycle. We've explored how this essential natural process works and why it's so important to care for our planet by using water wisely.

To bring our learning to life, we conducted an exciting experiment that demonstrated each stage of the water cycle in action. Together students have created a vibrant poster explaining the water cycle, which is now proudly displayed in our classroom. In addition, we've been designing eye-catching "Water Wise" posters to help educate others on how they can conserve this precious resource for generations to come.

Year 5

This week, 5E have been working hard on planning and writing information texts about Cyclone Alfred. We’ve been learning how to structure information reports, use technical vocabulary, and include key details about this extreme weather event. The students have done a fantastic job researching and presenting their information clearly and accurately.
