Year 3/4 Mrs Charlton and Mrs Weyell 2021-2022

Although our focus this half term is on prehistoric times, it doesn't stop us being scientists too!  This week, the children have enjoyed exploring how seeds disperse to ensure they have space to grow into new plants (thank you everyone who brought a wide variety of nuts, seeds and berries in for…

Today Jean Banwell, an archeologist  from the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum, visited the class. She talked about how people survived throughout different periods in the Stoneage. The children then pretended to be archeologists and were presented with the remains of a Woolly Mammoth, Moufflon,…

We have enjoyed our first week as historians, understanding what "prehistoric" means.  We have learned some complicated names to describe the different parts of the Stone Age (paleolithic, mesolithic and neolithic), which is then followed by the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.  We have tried to…

We're really pleased with our final display board showing off all our fabulous art and writing.  Today we wrote our own versions of the Legend of St George, to complement the art work produced earlier in the week.  Well done everyone, we're really pleased with your hard work and enthusiasm…

This week we have been learning about Christian festivals focusing upon All Saints. We now know how to become a saint and created our own using oil pastels. Did you know that there are over 10,000 saints and that you have to be dead more than 5 years?!  We looked at the Patron Saints and how their…

This week the children have been using their knowledge of teeth to create their own models. I think you’ll agree they did a fabulous job. 

Well done children with your brilliant creations for your topic homework.

This week, we have been comparing animal digestive systems.  We are nearing the end of our journey through the digestive system and today talked about poo - or faeces to be scientifically correct.  We learned what is in poo and what healthy poo is like.  We then had fun watching, "The Story of the…

We are now choosing golden time activities that the class would like to do together.  For the last few weeks, the children have wanted to explore the wild life areas, learn some bushcraft and we've certainly been lucky with the weather!  We are grateful for the support of Mr…

This week we have been introduced to the evil character of Miss Root in the book, "Demon Dentist" by David Walliams.  The children have worked together to describe Miss Root, using expanded noun phrases.  They have then produced their own wonderful descriptions, using these shared ideas.  Well…

Our biology-based topic, Burps, Bottom and Bile, is proving to be a lot of fun while we are learning important skills as scientists.  We have compared the effect of different liquids on eggshells, which we think would be a similar effect on our teeth.

In our first experiment, we were amazed to…

Welcome back! 

We're all very excited to see you tomorrow and we hope that you've had a lovely summer holiday. We are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as some new ones. 

We will meet you at the school gates between 8.45am and 8.55am. See you all…
