Year 3 Sound Walk
As part of our English topic on the 'Sound Collector' poem by Roger McGough, we conducted a Sound Walk around the school to invisage lfe in silence. We then had to work out how we could create rhyming pairs before constructing our own version of the poem, 'The Sound Collector Comes To Bridge'. As…
Year 3 Air Resistance

Year 3 Cave Art!
In English today, we had an Experience Day looking at the Stone Age medium of cave art. We explored the meaning behind lots of different examples and discussed why and how these illustrations would have been created. Following that, we divided into 'Stone Age Tribes' and devised a backstory for…
