Year 3 Rocks Days

We learnt about fossils and were able to cast our own…
Year 3 Visit the Stone Age
Yesterday, Year 3 took a flight on Topic Airways back in time to the Stone Age. When we landed, our plane was boarded by a smelly, hairy Stone Age man named CLAW. In his broken English, he taught us about life in the Stone Age, including how he hunts, how the women and children gather food and…

The sun was shining and Mr Frost had come out for our trip to the wider woodlands. We looked at where the pine trees and broadleaf trees grow. There was so much room for exploration with natural materials and we returned with many happy and tired faces.

Forest School Term 3 Year 2
Our first week back was too stormy to be outside - we found out about the Big Bird Watch instead indoors. The children listened to bird poems, brainstormed what they know about garden birds already, took a quiz about which garden bird they were, they made binoculars and created their bird log…

Forest School Year 3 Term 2 2022
This term greeted us with Autumn weather - wind, rain, frost and sunshine. We have to stay flexible and adapt to the elements, meaning we could not make a fire in the first session as planned.
