We have been learning about the different layers of soil, and how soil is formed. We used the story of Roger the Rock to help us understand this process. Here are some of our finished Roger the Rock stories.
Today, Year 3 walked around school searching for signs of nature. We found all sorts of interesting plants and creatures. We saw beetles, slugs, flies and spiders. We heard a dunnock, a magpie, crows, a robin and a blue tit. We discovered that the Secret Garden has become a wilderness and is a peaceful sanctuary for nature within school grounds. Have a look at some of the things we found!
This week is Poetry week and we have started the week off by welcoming Lauren Kara to Iveson. She worked with all of KS2 to share some of her own poetry. We then had a go at writing some of our poems.
We are going to be making pouches, bags or purses this half term. We have researched different products, chosen materials and this week we began planning our product designs.
In PSHE, we have been learning about healthy and happy friendships. To begin with, we discussed the qualities of a good friend and how we would know whether a friendship was healthy or unhealthy. We then discussed the importance of personal space and how we can all view this differently, and how it can depend on the person we are interacting with. We finally looked at our own friends and relationship networks and recorded these to show how our relationships fit into different "zones".
