Year 3 Science!

Year 3 have been learning about magnets. The children used magnets to test if different materials in their classroom were magnetic or not. The children found that magnets attract (or pull) objects which contain iron such as paper clips, scissors and nails. They do not attract paper as it does not contain iron.
