Herd Farm
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week we had a wonderful trip to Herd Farm as part of our topic on the Stone Age. The children took part in spear throwing, exploring a round house, learning about different historic artefacts used by people during the Stone Age and they also learnt how to light a fire using flint. The children have now been writing a persuasive letter in English in order to persuade other schools to visit this exciting local, educational place. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped us during the morning. It was a cold one!
Water Safety Week

Just a reminder that it is ‘Water Safety Week’ at swimming this week. The children are to come in their swim wear as usual, but please send them with a pair of pyjamas/shorts and T-shirt in a separate carrier. It is really important that they have a plastic carrier with them to put their pyjamas in after. Thank you.
We met a geologist!

Hi Friday, we had a special Zoom call with a geologist who is Thomas’ grandma. She came live to us from Belgium! We learnt all about Brimham rocks, how the world changed over time and about tectonic plates. The children also had lots of questions to ask her at the end– we could have been there all day as the children were really intrigued and inspired by her talk. We are really grateful to Thomas’s grandma for giving up her time and supporting our learning on rocks and soil in science.
Charcoal artwork
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week, the children completed their art project using the media of charcoal and chalk. Over the past few weeks the children explored the work of Laura McKendry, experimented with charcoal and how this can be smudged to create different effects, as well as using a rubber and white chalk to create other dramatic effects. The children were asked to create different portraits using torchlight only. The focus was on shadow and using charcoal to create this. We are looking forward to displaying this artwork in our classroom and look forward to you all seeing it at our open classroom morning. We wish you all a wonderful half term and look forward to seeing everyone back on the 19th February.
