Stone Age workshop
Year 3 travelled back to the Stone Age to learn more about how people lived during the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. Our helpful visitor showed us artefacts such as a hand axe and taught us more about the hunter gatherer lifestyle. We even had a chance to practise our mammoth hunting skills, Ms Reay was a natural at spear throwing!
Stone Age Workshop
This half term we have been learning about seasonal food in D.T. and cooking a variety of different recipes as part of Forest School.
We have also made tropical fruit kebabs with non native fruits such as lychees, watermelon and bananas.

Ancient Egyptian Art
In art lessons we explored ancient egyptian art experimenting with symbols and colours used in their distinctive style. We learnt about how papyrus scrolls were made and created our own papyrus style paper before painting our final designs.

Forest school
This term in forest school we designed and created bird houses. We used a variety of tools to assemble the wooden bird houses. The finished products will be put up on school grounds ready for the local wildlife to use.

Kew Gardens Trip
Year 3 had a wonderful trip to Kew Gardens this term despite the very cold weather. We took part in a workshop led by Kew scientists about plant classification and found out how plants are grouped according to their characteristics. We also discovered what it would have been like to have been a 20th century plant hunter and what equipment they would have used.
