As an exciting wow to our topic, we went to Celtic Harmony which is an Iron Age settlement. We were completely mesmerised and immersed in the hook. We had fun and we were learning at the same time. We can’t wait to keep learning about the Stone age because of our visit to the settlement. It was very helpful being able to visualise what life was actually like first hand.

In Maths, we have been starting to learn to use the formal method to divide. We used manipulatives to help us with our learning so that we were dividing practically by sharing. We used our cups to show our understanding. 

We are very excited about our new topic on the Romans! 

We have started learning about the Celts and this week we find our about Julius Caesar coming to Britannia!

We are also pleased to say that we will be visited by a theatre company to perform a play about the Romans. The children will also take part in workshops.

We have written diaries and setting descriptions, This week, we are going to be re-telling the story of Traino and Livia and try to magpie the authors style of writing. We have been enjoying this book and cannot wait to show you what we have written. 

In Year 3, we have made a great start to learning in our new topic, 'Shakes, Shocks and Hotspots'. For our 'WOW' start, we decided to make lava rocks out of newspaper and modroc. We painted them in the correct colours to add to o

Year 3 Fantastic Finish was a great success. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed different activities based on our themed week 'World Wars'. Thank you to all of the parents and carers for attending and for joining in with the children.
