Year 3 Cook up a healthy dish

We have had a busy, yet exciting half term learning all about ‘What’s inside’. Year 3 have loved this science led unit and learnt lots about our bones and what we need to be healthy in D&T. This week in science, the children started to learn about their teeth and how we need to care for these. On Thursday, we set up an experiment to answer this key question, ‘What effect do different liquids have on our teeth?’ We used marble chips to represent our teeth, we then added these to water, apple juice, blackcurrant squash, lemonade and a monster energy drink. We made our predictions and will be looking back at this experiment after the Easter break. Get your children to tell you their prediction.

In D&T, we have enjoyed learning about where foods come from and also planning our own fruit tarts. The children then enjoyed making these and they certainly didn’t hang around for long on their plates. Why don’t you have a go at making these at home? Puff pastry, yogurt or jelly and lots of fruit!  

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your ongoing support, have a love Easter Holiday.
