Stone Age Necklaces

As part of our Wow Day to launch the topic, ‘Who first lived in Britain?’, Year 3 designed and made Stone Age replica necklaces. First of all we looked at some photographs of Stone Age necklaces and discussed the materials that these were made from. Using these ideas as a prompt, we designed our own.

We then made our necklaces using clay. We had to make sure there were no cracks in any our pieces.

A few days later, we painted our necklaces and threaded them onto string.

Wow! We can’t believe how beautiful they look!

HET Bridge Building Challenge

Pupils in Year 5 had fun with our friends at Ganton Primary School this afternoon during our bridge building STEM challenge. We were challenged to build the sturdiest structure to support the HET bear. #makingnewfriends

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 2 have had a very Royal Time!

In Year 2, our new topic is Queens, Kings and Knights and we are finding out ‘What makes someone Royal?’

We have had a fabulous start to the year as we have been making some royal artefacts!

First, we learned about Coats of Arms, why people used them, why they colourful and why they used symbols. We looked at different designs and created our own!

Then, we learned all about crowns – this history of crowns, what they are made from and why the monarchy wear them.
