Shropshire Wildlife Trust Session

Today Y3 were joined by Ellie and Clive from the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. They helped the children plant and weave a willow tunnel that will begin to shoot when the weather gets warmer!

Thursday 30th November Outdoor Science Session

Dear Parents/Carers,

Tomorrow (30.11.23) we will have a session with the Shropshire Wildlife Trust which will take place outside on school grounds. We will be creating a willow tunnel, preparing our allotments for the winter and enjoying a forest school session. Please ensure that your child comes to school tomorrow with a warm coat, jumper and spare outdoor boots/shoes or old trainers.

Thank you,

The Year 3 Team

Animation and crafternoon

Gurdwara Uniform

Dear Parents,

 

This is just a reminder that pupils need to come into school in full school uniform this morning. They should also bring a head covering to show respect within the Gurdwara.

 

Apologies for any confusion,

 

The Year 3 Team

Creating Sedimentary Rock

Today we used white and milk chocolate “sediment” as well as pressure to form a new sedimentary rock! The white chocolate represented seashells and bones while the milk chocolate symbolised sand, mud and other rocks. We pushed the layers of sediment together to create a solid mass of “rock” before eating.
