WHAT HAVE WE BEEN LEARNING?
LAst half term, Year 3/4 have really enjoyed learning all about what makes up our planet and how natural disaster such as volcanoes and earthquakes occur. We made our own models of Earth using different coloured custards, biscuit crumbs and rice to show the different layers.
We also learnt lots about how to keep our bodies and teeth healthy in PSHE and why this is important. Children completed food group plates at home to help them identify all of the different food groups they eat!
