A day of discovery for Year 3

An unforgettable science day for Year 3 turned into an amazing adventure!

Our pupils ventured to Wincobank Hill and Concord Park to study plants in a local ecosystem. Ecosystems can come in all shapes and sizes, as small as a termite mound or as large as a tree and are like communities. An ecosystem shows how all the living and non-living components are connected.

There was no stopping our intrepid Year 3 pupils as they set upon their task with curiosity and vigour; discovering new plants, identifying different types of plants and flowers, and naming their different parts.

 As with any scientific experiment, they charted their progress, and completed tally charts, before engaging in discussions about pollination and seed dispersal. With energy and a spring in their steps with all their new found knowledge, our pupils decided that a 6k walk would complete their day along with the obligatory climbing of trees!

Fresh air in lungs and brains filled with new knowledge brought a renewed zest for learning as our pupils returned back to base!
