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!
Ahead of it’s official launch, these lovely pupils were keen to help us prepare the soil in our planters. We are looking forward to a green fingered year in which we can earn out Bronze Food For Life award from the soil association.
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!

Pride in bundles as our bud Tristan scores full marks 👍
Y3 had a wonderful morning decorating boiled eggs! The children came up with lots of creative ideas and all really enjoyed it despite our classrooms being very smelly!
Year 3 had fun undertaking Miss Stewart’s one minute maths challenge. We had a range of activities (write our full names in joined handwriting; write our times tables; make stacks of 10 unifix cubes; star jumps and sharpening pencils) which we had to firstly predict how many of each activity we thought we may complete in 1 minute before undertaking the activity. We established that 1 minute (60 seconds) is not a very long time…however time does fly when you are having fun!!! This activity helped us consolidate our understanding of time as well as assist us in collating data which is our new maths area of learning. We are going to use our results to create bar charts!
Today we have been learning how to read maps in orienteering. We have had to follow different maps to various cones which have all been worth a different amount then we have had to add up the total amount!
We became Egyptian scribes this afternoon whereupon we tried to master the skill of illustrating our names using hieroglyphics, which was an ancient form of Egyptian writing using pictures. Did you know that there were 700 hieroglyphic images that the Egyptian people had to learn so as to be able to read and write?!…that is a lot of characters but an interesting fact to remember!
