National Zoo and Aquarium Visit

Yesterday Year 3/4 had an amazing day visiting the National Zoo and Aquarium. We got to explore the brand new area of the zoo which is home to their new White Rhinos. We all went on guided tours and everyone had the opportunity to feed or hold some of the animals. We had so much fun! The keepers talked to us about the different biomes that some of the animals come from, as well as the effect that human impact has on many of the animals habitats.

What did you learn about the animals  during your Zoo adventure?

Year 3 Maths - Graphing

In Year 3 we have been collecting and organising data into bar graphs. We then had to use our data and graphs to create true statements and questions about what we noticed. Take a look at some of our great graphing below.

Biomes

This term we have been learning all about the different biomes around the world. So far we have asked lots of questions to figure out what we would like to know about the different biomes and we have begun investigating the Grassland and Desert biomes. 

As we cover each of the five biomes; Tundra, Forest, Aquatic, Desert and Grasslands. We will be finding out about their climate, location, flora and fauna and the human impact on each biome.

Some of our students have been making a slide show about the impact humans have had on the Grasslands. Take a look at some of our research that we turned into posters on google slides.

What are some interesting facts that you have learnt about biomes so far?
