News about trips and activities that enrich our learning
To kick off our next history unit 'The Stone Age to Iron Age', Year 3 children were invited to dress up as people or animals from the Stone Age as part of our launch day. It was an exciting opportunity for the children to become fully immersed in our topic and take part in lots of Stone Age activities. These included re-creating Stone Age shelters, cave painting and showing off their flip learning projects.
The year 3 children enjoyed a local trip down to the Jurassic Discovery in Seaton. Within our art and science topics this half term, the children have been learning all about rocks and fossils.
Today the children were brought face to fact with life sized dinosaurs in their immersive Jurassic experience. They got to see first hand what life was like 65 million years ago! The children also got to enjoy discovering fossils in the sand and even having a go at sketching them. The morning finished with some time in their soft play, which the children absolutely loved!
Year 3 pupils enjoyed a fantastic trip to Stonehenge on Thursday 25th September. Pupils were able to explore a Neolithic village and look at replica Sarsen stone.
The pupils walked down to the ancient stone monument where we were all amazed at the sheer size of the wonder of Stonehenge. The pupils asked many questions about how the stones got there, why they were there and what had happened at this incredible site.
Following this, the pupils were able to explore the exhibition, showing ancient artefacts which have been discovered at the site, including animal bones and flint. It was a truly wonderful day of learning! The pupils got excited about learning all about the Stone Age later this term!
