Year 3’s Greek food tasting

6th April 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 had an exciting afternoon trying lots of different Greek foods. As part of our Dimensions topic- Athens v Sparta, we have been learning about Greece. The children have learnt about the history of Greece, food and culture. We thought it was only right to try some of these foods. So we had an enjoyable afternoon trying the different delicacies! We tried: olives, Greek yoghurt, Vine leaves, baklava, feta cheese, pita bread with tzatziki and hummus.

Children gathering to show their respect at 11am We will remember them...

Whilst we aren’t able to hold full school events inside due to COVID, we were thankfully still able to go outside to recognise Remembrance Day.

We heard the Last Post and stood in silence for two minutes to show our respect.

Class 14 also created remembrance artwork for commemorate Remembrance Day. They used the medium of charcoal to create an image of what we may see over the top in no man’s land, whilst listening to Remembrance music. We hope you like our artwork:

A Stone Age feast around the fire pit!

7th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

Mr McCormack’s class had a great morning around our school fire pit area being transported back to the Stone Age to try and recreate what it must have felt like.

They tasted similar food and imagined what it would be like back then. This was then used in a writing lesson where children wrote their own Stone Age setting description.

As they had the fire going they then got to have some very un-Stone age marshmallows melted over the fire too! 🔥

 

Who first lived in Britain?

16th October 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

This half term in Year 3 we have been learning about the Stone Age, working towards our Learning Challenge question of ‘Who first lived in Britain?’

This week we learned about stone circles such as Stonehenge. We built replicas of Stonehenge out of biscuits, then took photos of them on the iPads and labelled each of the stones using the Seesaw app; the alter stone, the inner horseshoe, the outer circle, the bluestones and the heel stone.

Then we got to eat the biscuits! Yum!
