Stonehenge

Year 3 went on a history trip to Stonehenge today. We had lots of fun and found out so many interesting facts about the Stone Age through to the Iron Age. We visited the exhibition and saw some prehistoric skeletons. Then we explored some prehistoric huts and learnt about Stone Age weapons. After lunch, we visited Stonehenge and saw the magnificent stones that were constructed from 3000 to 2000 BC. We learnt so much today and cannot wait to do even more learning in the classroom!

 

Year 3S explore the Stone Age!

On Friday, Year 3S went on a trip to Butser Farm where we had a Stone Age experience. We spent time in the houses they would have lived in and completed 4 Stone Age activities including making clay pots and chalk carving. We had a fantastic time and our guide Karen was very lovely to us. 

Here are some pictures of us enjoying our day. 

BeeBot Adventures in Year 3

As part of our computing learning, we learnt to program BeeBots to move around a board with pictures of different Stone Age locations. Miss Smith gave us some directions to program into our BeeBots, but she had made a few mistakes. We found the mistake or bug in the directions and reprogrammed the BeeBot so they made it to their location. 

3S' special visitor!

During break time today something amazing and slightly unusual happened. Miss Smith returned to the classroom to find these all over the carpet! 

We looked around the classroom to find different clues and found some Stone Age cave paintings of different animals. We used all the clues to decide that a woolly mammoth had visited us!
