We are making fossils…

Year 3 have set up an experiment to help them understand fossils and how they are formed. I wonder what they will discover when they finally uncover their buried specimens.

Volcano experiment

In 3B, we have been learning all about the parts of a volcano and how they have been formed. The class were very excited to have a go at creating their own mini volcanoes using sourdough to erupt. We then used dyed sourdough to place over the erupted “lava” replicate the building of layers of solidified lava (igneous rock) over time after each eruption.

3B are Geologists

3B have been learning all about different types of rocks to identify and compare different rocks and learnt all about the rock cycle. We have also been very lucky to have a special expert in the field to share their knowledge of rocks with the class which they all loved too.

Thank you, Andrew!

We have been visited by a real-life geologist! Andrew came to visit to speak to us about the rock cycle and how different types of rock are formed. He was fascinating and even taught us about the rock beneath our school!

He brought lots of samples of different rocks with him. Some had traces of silver in them! Looking at and exploring rocks with him has really helped us to build our background knowledge for this case study.

Thank you Andrew!

Amazing artwork!

Year three have been studying the work of Katsushika Hokusai and replicating his piece ‘The Great Wave’. Take a look for yourselves…their work is better than my words!

Well done everyone – great work!

I can’t wait to see the final pieces!

We are looking forward to the next Young Readers event.

A few weeks ago, we were visited by staff from Amazon who launched their Young Readers event with us. We listened to a great story about super heroes then designed our own super hero in small groups. We even got to dress a person from each group up as the super hero that we designed! It was great fun!

Later on, every child was lucky enough to be able to choose a book to keep. There was a huge selection to choose from and everyone seemed to enjoy their choice as they relaxed with a biscuit and quiet book reading time…

The next event is next week…I can’t wait! I love books.
