Class of 2020

Here are all of our amazing pictures based on cave paintings!  We have written diary entries based on our book "Stone Age Boy".  We are also loving finding out more about Prehistoric Britain with some new non-fiction books. 

In Year 3 we are now learning about the Neolithic Stone Age (the New Stone Age) when farming was first used widely in Britain.  We have been learning about the amazing monument of Stonehenge and how it was made. We did a fact treasure hunt to find out as much as we could about it. It is incredible…

We are continuing our history topic, investigating the Stone Age, and this week made some pictures of cave art using ink washes to create the cave walls and charcoal/pastels with our own stencils to show the animals. We are really pleased with the results!

This morning we did some cave art (see other blog), some spelling practice, some history (investigating the work of archaeologists) and even some practical maths measuring mass. And that was all before break time! Phew! Well done Year 3!

We are continuing finding out about the Stone Age in our art lessons! Today we read the book First Drawing and imagined how it would be to live in the Stone Age and only have cave walls and charcoal to draw with. We use real charcoal to try to recreate some of the Stone Age animals that were drawn…

We are learning about the roles of archaeologists as part of our new history topic - the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Today we worked in groups sorting through the classroom bins from yesterday. We were trying to work out which bin went with which class just by looking at what they had left behind.…

We have started our new topic - Stone Age Britain - and today looked at the amazingly long time that the Stone Age lasted. We found out that prehistory means before written records and that for most of human history there was no writing! We used toilet roll to show how long humans have been living…

In Year 3 and 4 we celebrated the end of term with a great afternoon of intra-sports between the different coloured teams.  We played a version cricket (having been inspired by Coach Lauren earlier this term) and there were super catches, impressive hitting and great bowling from Mrs Winder and…

This morning in Y3 & 4 we explored the theme of “treasures. At the beginning we came up with lots of ideas linked to treasure like gold, jewels and pirates! We then did three different activities to explore the treasures we have in our lives.  We thought about different places that are special to…

We have been learning about famous sculptors and this week we are focusing on Eva Rothschild.  We designed sculptures inspired by her art works and then made our own using straws. We learnt how to attach straws together using pipe cleaners. We added pops of colour using stickers and coloured…

Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from three first team Morecambe FC players. We asked them questions about their lives and their footballing careers, their favourite players and what they had enjoyed most about school. They told us about good team work and how they deal with losing…

In maths we have started to learn about fractions.  Today we played a dice game to see who could the largest fraction. We had lots of fun!
