Year 3 Learn About Growing and Changing, by Mrs Walsh
Date: 19th May 2023 @ 6:07pm
This week during our growing and changing topic, Year 3 have been grouping animals in a variety of different ways and then focussing on grouping by the gender of the animal - Male or Female.
They re-capped on the specific names for certain male and female animals (and in some cases learnt some new ones!).
They compared photos of babies and toddlers and discussed if they could tell the gender of the baby from the picture, like they could with the animal photos. This also led them into a Philosophy for Children (P4C) discussion about whether all genders can play all the same sports and who was better! As you can imagine, the final question resulted in a great debate, but they did all settle on 'it depends on the individual not the gender of the person!'
