To finish their work on the Stone Age, Year 3 had a go at recreating Stonehenge using Wotsits! They had to build the structure by making the ends of the crisps wet and sticking them together to form mini ‘stones’. The children really enjoyed this activity and created some realistic structures.
Year 3 have been learning about friction in their Science lessons. They had to carry out an investigation to understand the effects of friction. They used toy cars and a variety of different surfaces to see which would create the most and least friction.
The Year 3 children did a fantastic job with their recent performances in the Key Stage 2 show, with lots of children filling in at the last minute due to illness! It’s good to know that we have some budding actors in our midst, and also some great understudies!
