This week, Year 3 began learning all about forces in Science, starting with friction. We now know that friction is the force that can slow objects down so we put different surfaces to the test, to see which surface caused the most friction. Green and Emerald Class found that concrete created the most friction because the car that we pushed traveled the shortest distance on this surface.
In PE we have started learning some new tennis skills. Emerald class were working hard to control the tennis balls by balancing and bouncing them on their tennis rackets. We’re excited to see how their skills progress as the term continues.
We were fortunate enough to work with Miss Sophia this week, using a new app to identify plants and animals in our outdoor areas. The children were amazed that the app could identify the plants from just one photo. We are so lucky to have such an exciting outdoor area to explore, including the woodlands and the pond garden!
