Super Scientists in Year 3!

 

In Science, year 3 have started a new topic called 'Animals including humans.' 

They started by using their reflectiveness skills to reflect on their previous knowledge of food groups such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and dairy. Then, we learnt what a nutrient was and how nutrients are essential to any living thing. The children then researched the different nutrients (such as fibre and vitamins) found in different foods and presented their findings to the class. 

Moving on, they investigated different food labels that we find on our food packaging and how animals also need different nutrients to stay alive. 

This week, the children learnt about different body parts including the skeleton! They used their reciprocal skills to draw their own skeleton in groups, working together to identify the various parts of the skeleton. After, they researched how the skeleton protects our body. For example, what job does the skull do? 

Also, the children had a very exciting visit from Professor Bubbleworks! They enjoyed learning about bubbles and air. 

Georgia - "There are 206 bones in our body!"

Elliot G - “There is a skull protecting our brain!”

Ayaan - "The ribs protect your heart and lungs."
