Summer Term: Water, Water Everywhere!

Art: Lenticular Printing

Inspired by the ‘lenticular prints’ of Luz Perez Ojeda, we carefully cut two images into strips and by alternating them side by side, in sequential order, and then folding, we created an optical illusion piece of art. If you look at the pictures you might be able to see two different pictures which are linked to topics that we have or will be studying throughout our time in Class 3 

States of Matter: Science

In science, we explored the concept of matter and how matter can change state. Using the example of water, we discussed how this can exist as a solid, liquid and gas. We then classified different materials according to their state. However, we were surprised to find that some materials are difficult to classify such as cornflour mixed with water and also slime because they don't exhibit the typical properties of solids or liquids. 

Rivers : Geography

We had lots of questions about rivers such as 'Where does the water come from?', ' Which direction do rivers flow in ?', Why don't rivers run out of water?',  Why do rivers change over time?', We went outside to start exploring some of these questions and started this by watching water flow down a bank. We were fascinated by the way that it took the easiest path to flow down hill. We're looking forward to more of our questions being answered in the coming weeks.
