Rotten Romans
After spending the half term learning all about the Romans, we had a visitor in from Portals to the Past to lead a 'Roman Day' with the class. For their homework, Class 3 had been working hard on Roman and Celt costumes to dress up in - they all looked fantastic and we had a great day!
Little Shop of Horrors!
Our topic this half term is called 'Little Shop of Horrors' and we will be learning all about plants.
Plant Monsters!
To conclude the topic, Class 3 designed and created their own plant monsters! They had to have all of the important parts of a plant such as the roots, stem, leaves and petals. They also used what they had learnt in Literacy and Numeracy to write about their plants and measure how tall they were.

Planting Peas Conclusion
After 6 weeks of watering their peas using their timetable, Class 3 measured their plants in centimetres and millimetres. They then identified their tallest plant so that the class could make comparisons between how much their plant had grown and how much it had been watered. They used this information to write a conclusion.
Class 3 also took the plants out of the pots to observe the roots, stem and seeds and how they had grown in the soil!

Drawing and Painting Plants
Class 3 went outside to create drawings of plants. They used the shadows of the plants to draw round and also drew round the plants themselves to create a pattern in their sketchbook. Once they had finished their drawings, they learnt how to use watercolours to paint their plant patterns.
Planting Peas
Class 3 discussed what was needed in order for plants to grow before creating an investigation to see what affected a plant's growth. They decided to investigate how the amount of water affects how a plant grows. The class decided that they should keep the amount of water the same each time the plants were watered to make the investigation fair. However, each group decided how many times a day or week they were going to water their plant and we created a timetable for the groups to follow.
At the end of the half term we will measure our plants to help us draw a conclusion from our investigation.
