Mosaic designs - 20.10.22
Today year 3 have been designing their own mosaic tiles. They had to come up with two different designs and then choose which one they want to replicate when they use real tiles after half term !!
How do plants and animals adapt to live in the desert?
This week, the children recapped their previous knowledge of the continents and oceans. They then debated the words: habitat and adaptation. Some very interesting ideas. From there they researched how (using real cacti) cacti are able to live in the desert through their use of long roots system so they can gather up as much water as possible as it does not rain much in a desert. Furthermore, they have spikes on them instead of leaves to protect them from being eaten and animals sucking out its water. Following on, the children looked at how a camel is able to live in the harsh conditions of a desert. Did you know that they have two sets of eyelashes? They can close their nostrils and their fur protects them from the sun as well as keeping them warm at night.
