Year 3/4 love our new Fitbit Challenge and are so excited to wear our class Fitbit! Each week the classes in KS2 are challenged to see who can do the most steps each day. We have had lots of fun seeing how 
many steps we can get each day and can’t wait to beat our top score!
Year 3 have been researching the different stages of The Stone Age and learning about how each era was different.
We have learned that there were 3 different eras called Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.
Year 3/4 have been looking at the story ‘Stone Age Boy’ this half term. Across the half term, we have learned how to create character and setting descriptions with vocabulary for effect.
Furthermore, we have use the story as the basis of a diary writing unit and have created some fabulous diary entries.
This half term we have had our parents in to come and meet our teachers. During the session, we became Cave Art experts and taught our parents how to create a piece of Cave Art. Everyone had lots of fun!
Welcome back to the Autumn term in Year 3/4. This term we will be investigating the question; ‘Could you survive the Stone Age?’ We started out topic with a fantastic Wow Day spending the day in the life of a Stone Age child. We came to school in fancy dress and we all looked really different!
Throughout the day, we made Stone Age necklaces, created some cave art, made Stone Age soup and bread and made a Stone Age bag.
At the end of the day we had our soup and bread around the camp fire.
It was a brilliant day!
Year 2 have been writing Wanted posters for these sneaky, suspicious and mischievous pirates! 
We are really proud of our writing!
Have you seen them anywhere?
Our non- fiction unit for this term has been instructions. We have been doing lots of different pirate crafts in Topic and then writing instructions for how to make them in English. We have made an eye patch, a pirate hook and some pirate’s gold!
Key Stage 1’s topic for the Summer term is; What was it like to be a pirate? Our pod has been transformed into a pirate’s deserted island.
To celebrate the launch of our topic we held a ‘Wow’ day were we became pirates for the day!
It was lots of fun being a pirate!
To end our topic, ‘What makes someone Royal?’, Key Stage 1 hosted their own version of The Tower of London. We displayed our crowns that we had made and held a Crown Jewels Exhibition. Our parents came after school to have a look and they were very impressed. We also sold jeweled biscuits that we had made to raise money for our next immersive learning project.
The day before our exhibition we had a very exciting delivery! It was a letter from the Queen’s Lady in Waiting. We also put this on display for our parents and they were very impressed!
On Thursday afternoon we invited parents and carers in to Key Stage 1 for a ‘Maths is Fun’ session. In year 2 we worked with our parents and carers on division challenges. We used objects for the green challenges, drew our answers for the amber challenges and used mental methods for the red questions.
When we had finished, we worked on our reasoning skills with some challenge questions. We had a brilliant afternoon!
