Year 3 have been learning all about pneumatics and how compressed air can move large objects in the real world, but for now opening a fabulous dragon mouth will suffice.

Year 3  have been learning about how even children are subject to the powers of advertisers.

Why do they use such bright colours and key words?

Year 3 have been experimenting with Sedimentary rocks.
