Year 3/4 Class Page

In our classroom, we strive for a calm but enthusiastic learning environment. We aim for children to be confident and independent learners who always work as hard as they can in all that they do. We have a growth mindset and welcome mistakes in the understanding that when we learn from them, they make us better!

Term 1

This term, we learnt a lot and had so much fun as well!

History - The Stone Age

The children have been learning about Prehistoric Britain. They have developed a wealth of knowledge about the changes in Britain across the three eras of The Stone Age - Paeleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. Some parents have reported that their children absolutely loved the content of this history unit, and they really enjoyed talking about it at home.

To kick off the topic, we had a 'handline box' from Weston Museum. This gave the children the chance to handle and see artefacts (axes, ivory spearheads, and much more) and have a go at activities related to The Stone Age.

To end the unit with a 'wow', we will be going on a class trip to Cheddar Gorge next term which will be amazing! The children will get to explore some caves and will meet 'Cheddar Man'!

Science

The children have been learning about animals, including humans, in science. The children enjoyed learning about their teeth and why it's important to look after them. They learnt this importance through an 'eggsperiment'! 

They also explored the digestive system by writing a diary entry in role of a piece of food that had been eaten. They wrote about their journey​​​​​​ from plate... to toilet!
