Summer Term 2017

Oriental Museum – Educational Visit

On May 4th, Class 3 visited the Oriental Museum to find out about life and death in Ancient Egypt. The children handled real artefacts from almost 4000 years ago, saw a real mummy and they even ‘mummified’ a member of our class!

Spring Term 2017

Today class 3 role played a trial of ‘the Big Bad Wolf’. We wrote questions for all of the witnesses and debated which side should win the case. The children acted as solicitors, the judge, jury and the characters from famous (or infamous!) stories involving the Wolf. The verdict in the end was that Mr. A. Wolf was GUILTY!

Autumn Term 2016

Science

This half term our science topic is Scientists and Inventors. We have looked at the life and work of Marie Curie on x-rays. We then looked closely at x-ray images of the human skeleton and worked in pairs to create our own 3D models.

History

Our history topic this term is Stone Age to Iron Age. We are investigating how and why tools were important to people in the Stone Age. We have been looking at the use of tools for farming and deciding whether they are big changes, small changes or the same as before.

‘I think using oxen to farm was a big change. It’s new to everyone at that time. They must have been so happy and excited because they didn’t have to kill animals much.‘ Erin

‘It would be a big change because people now (modern times) train animals to pull ploughs too.‘ Leila

‘They just found out that seeds started growing so they can eat in the winter without hunting.’ Elin

Flanders Field

On November 11th, we painted Flanders Fields in remembrance of all the people who had died in wars. We Listened to the poem and then painted the scene using perspective.
