Spring 1
Prehistoric Britain Experience Day
Throwback! The children went back to the land of lithos, where hunter-gatherers foraged for berries and nuts and tools were made of stone and wood. The children enjoyed activities such as designing and building a Stone Age settlement, and creating cave paintings.
English - Creating artwork based on key vocabulary about wolves

Fundraising - Sponsored Read-a-thon!
Read-a-thons are a type of fundraiser that ask participants to read as many pages or books as they can by a predetermined date. Year 3 were sponsored to read a number of books across the hour and worked hard to raise funds for our wonderful school!
Brain Buddies
We talked about how our emotions can vary throughout the day.
STEAM - Matilda's Floating Feat!
Year 3 have been reading Matilda by Roald Dahl and were amazed by the powers she possessed.
We wondered whether we could use our STEAM skills to do something similar.
We learned about static electricity and the transfer of electrons.
What materials responded to the static from the balloons?
