Cave Art Paintings

As part of our Flints and Stones topic, Year 3 have been learning about Cave Art and the resources Stone Age man had available to create art. We decided to immerse ourselves in our learning by creating our own Stone Age paintbrushes using the branches and leaves that we picked ourselves from the school field. We then used our paintbrushes to have a go at creating some Cave Art. It was challenging painting with our leafy brushes but we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    I am very impressed with Welford's very own Cave paintings-It looks like a fun activity and quite challenging, too.

Cadbury World

Yesterday, year 3 had a scrumdiddilyumptious trip to Cadbury World. They discovered the origin of chocolate and how the beans are grown, harvested, dried and finally transported to the U.K to be made into delicious chocolate. They also had the opportunity to sample some of lip-smacking chocolate that Cadbury World creates. Followed by an exciting 4D cinema experience, rounded off with a fabulous time on the outdoor play equipment. Phew! What a busy day !

Greek Immersion Day

To welcome the children back and hook them into our new topic, Great Gods and Mere Mortals, Year 3 had a Greek immersion day. As soon as the children arrived in the morning, we dressed them up as Ancient Greek citizens. We created leafy wreaths to wear and sang Greek themed songs. In the afternoon, we took the children into the hall and treated them to a culinary experience featuring a range of greek delicacies such as olives, feta cheese and tzatziki.

Friction

Year 3 have been building their own cars in D.T. Once built they were used to investigate the effects of friction. to do this the children rolled the cars down a series of different ramps which each had a different surface texture. Sponge, wood, sandpaper and carpet. Before beginning their investigation they made a series of predictions about which surfaces would create the most friction. Then the fun began ! Take a look at the pictures below:
