We had a go at tinkering with scratch. We used 'blocks' to create a piece of code. Blocks are similar to commands.

We used a sheet to explore what each block did. We found out so many new things!

​
We remembered back to when we studied materials and their properties and uses.

We felt and explored materials and then we had a go at remembering the properties of each material.

Have a look: can you identify the materials?

We had a go at improving Andrew's work by using a checklist to help us.

We helped make Andrew's writing even more exciting by adding in things such as adverbials and suffixes.

]]><![CDATA[History: Great Fire of London]]>Tue, 13 Oct 2020 08:02:03 GMThttps://www.williamdavis.org.uk/year-3-news-blog/history-great-fire-of-londonWe have started to learn about the Great Fire of London, which destroyed much of London 350 years ago.

We explored what homes were made from all those years ago. We found out they were made from wood, straw and tar, which are all very flammable. We also found out that London was very dirty and living conditions were very cramped.

So then we decided to create our own houses from the time! Have a look at our amazing efforts!

We have been looking how we use materials and their properties.

Today we decided to conduct a fair test to see which materials are water proof and which are not. We will use this information to make our own nappy next week!

We tested paper, cling wrap, kitchen towel, plastic and foil. Which do you think was the most waterproof?
