SCIENCE & LITERACY

This week in literacy we have started to look at explanatory texts and in topic we have been learning about how plants actually make their food.

We have learnt how plants suck water up from their roots, 'breathe' in air from little holes in their leaves and then combine these with sunlight to create their own sugary food to feed from.

Peter and Charlie learning to use a microscope, so they can examine the roots of a plant, to find the 'hairs' that suck the water up into the stem.

 We have combined our new skills and knowledge to create storyboards that explain how a plant is able to successfully  grow. 

Everyone worked really hard and did brilliantly. Here is some examples of the working going on in year 3 at the moment.
