Ivy went to Fenwicks window on Sunday with her mam, Cory and Aunty Jade.  It was great fun!

After plotting the tale of the Stone Age Boy on a story map, we headed outdoors to our very own Stone Age camp…the nature garden! It was the perfect setting to recreate the adventure of a young boy who woke up in the Stone Age and met a girl called Om. Next week we will start to plan on our own versions of the story.

Year 3 have had lots of fun combining their survival, Mathematical and Topic learning about the Stone Age in Forest School this afternoon. We were given the task of creating a ladder that may have been used to reach higher caves in the Stone Age, all the while considering where the parallel and perpendicular lines are.

During REFlection time Year 3 have been thinking about their emotions and feelings using Blob Images to help them make sense of how they feel. They have linked this with Anti Bullying week too to describe how the actions of others can make us feel and how we can feel many different emotions throughout the day and even at the same time.

Our Stone Age learning took us outdoors last week, investigating prehistoric art materials and techniques. Like the early humans, we searched for natural materials and mixed them with water to make paint. After evaluating the best ones, we set off to create a large scale cave painting that included woolly mammoths, deer and some Stone Age symbols.

Teamwork and resilience were the order of the day on Thursday when Y3 were blessed with perfect conditions for forest school. Mr Hayton planned a great session, building on skills from our previous sessions to build a raft from sticks in the nature garden. We even took our computing learning outdoors and created our school computer network in human form. Back in the classroom for English and we used the app Vocab Lab to unleash our ninja powers on some boring sentences.

Year 3 have had a fantastic day learning all about Japan. This morning we developed our geographical knowledge using atlases and maps to locate Japan and then used the internet to research it’s human and physical characteristics. This afternoon we looked at Manga art and created our own Manga characters following steps and including key features. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and have learnt lots too.

Ivy made some m&m cookies yesterday then decorated them with white chocolate and marshmallows they were very yummy 🙂
