In the past weeks Year 3 has been having an exciting time in Integrated Studies.
We have been comparing the features and characteristics of living and non-living things. This is what Year 3 students have to say about the topic:
I have learnt about wetlands and the type of things that live there. Claudia, 3W.
Living things breed, eat, drink, breathe, grow and move. Antonio, 3W.
Wetlands have lots of water and lots of animals. Xander, 3A.
Wetlands have many animals. There are reptiles, birds, mammals, fish and amphibians. Ira, 3A.
I am learning about groups of animals by looking if the animals has fur or scales or if it can fly. Juanita, 3F.
I have learnt about amphibians. Frogs, Mexican axolotls and toads are amphibians. Indiana, 3F.
I found out that wetlands are always wet or very full when it is raining. There are lots of wetlands in the world. Many living and non-living things are there, like different kinds of plants such as mangroves and ferns. Madeleine, 3A.
I have learnt about how living things grow. We are learning about plants. For example, how to take care of it. We are experimenting with how they live with or without the sun. William, 3G.
I learnt that seeds or plants can’t grow without water and food. They could grow, but then they die straight away. It takes time for plants to grow. When plants grow, white sprouts come out of them then they grow bigger. Violet, 3G.
We are planting seeds on dirt, in pebbles, in sand, in water, in slime (for fun!), in the light and in the dark to find out about how plants grow. Jade, 3F.
