Back to the Stone Age

25/9/2020

 

We caught the last warm, sunny day of the week and headed off to our forest school for some outdoor learning. 

The children learnt about animals and vegetation that were around during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods.  We made a stone age stew which looked rather unappealing however it smelt good and, to the surprise of some, was rather tasty.
​

Science Rocks!

25/9/2020

 

On Monday, in science we learnt about the three different rock types: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.  We used starburst to understand how the different rocks are formed.

With lots of starbursts left over, the children took some home to demonstrate the investigation to their families. Thank you for the photos and well done for remembering what we did in class and sharing your knowledge.

It has been wonderful to have you all back in class and we have enjoyed getting to know you all.  Next week we will be starting our science and history topics, "Rocks" and "The Stone, Bronze & Iron Ages".  In preparation for Science on Monday, I would be grateful if you could bring in a live worm or two. I promise we will look after them and set them free in a few weeks.

You have all worked hard this week, both Mrs Glover and I have been really impressed. Have a lovely weekend and we'll look forward to seeing you all on Monday morning.

Welcome to Year 3!

7/9/2020

 

​I hope you've had a wonderful summer break. Mrs Glover and I are looking forward to welcoming you back into class tomorrow.

When you arrive in the morning, Year 3 can enter the playground at 8.40 where Mrs Glover and I will be there to meet you, class will start at 08:50. Our finish time will be 15.20. 

Children are welcome to bring in their own pencil case however I will also be handing out individual pencil cases which will be filled with everything they'll need for work during the school day. This will hopefully minimise the need to walk around the classroom during lesson time. 

Below is a picture of the classroom, the only real change is that all tables will be facing forward. We will be staying in our class 'bubble' for the day and not mixing with other classes. 

Please can all children bring their PE kit with them tomorrow, we will be having outdoor PE on Wednesday this week.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all in the morning.

Mrs Donovan & Mrs Glover
