Y3 & 4 Science

Year 3 and 4 had great fun in Science working in pairs to create a magnetic maze game!  After designing and sticking down our ‘lolly stick’ maze we used a paper clip and a magnet (underneath the card) to pull the magnetic object from the starting point to the finish line.

After some practise turns we timed each other to see who could move the paper clip, using the magnet, from start to finish the fastest!

Year 3 & 4 History lesson

In a recent history lesson, Tigers enjoyed taking part in a simulation activity to see how important trade was for Ancient Egypt to become powerful and how much it depended on being able to produce grain to feed its people and to export. We quickly learnt how dependent the Egyptians were on the success of the Nile flooding and that some years it was great, but other years it failed them.
