Sarehole Mill

Year 3 had a fantastic day out at Sarehole Mill. We were explorers for the day and explored around the grounds and areas such as the 'Bug Hotel' and  the 'Sound Wall' using binoculars and microscopes. We also learnt about the Stone Age and Bronze and the materials they used to make their shelters as well how they lived their lives. The children thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience.

    What a brilliant way of bringing learning about the past to life. I loved the range of activities.

Stone Age Stewed Fruit

Year 3 have been studying instruction texts and as part of the process we made some Stone Age stewed fruit using a selection of fruits, hazelnut and honey as an added sweetener. The process not only allowed the children to get stuck in practically but also informed their own writing of instructions following the making of the fruit stew.

Year 3 have been learning about different types of rocks. Granular, crystallised and fossilised. We looked at the formation of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The children were given an assortment of rocks and were asked to group the rocks according to their appearance. We then sorted the rocks correctly and the children were excited to see if their predictions were correct.

On Wednesday 1st May, 3WP visited the Jetavana Buddhist Temple in Handsworth as part of their RE studies - visiting local places of worship.  We walked all the way from Welford to Booth Street and when we got inside, we had to take off our shoes, as the children do in many of their own places of worship.  We decided that this was respectful, so we left our shoes by the front door. The head monk met us in the Temple and told us lots of interesting things about why he decided to follow Buddhism and how long it took him to be able to deliver teaching in his faith.   The children asked lots of interesting questions about his beliefs, religious clothing and prayer.  The children were very respectful at the temple and enjoyed the visit.
