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.

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.

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 !

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.
