Stone Age Museum

Thank you to everyone who came to our Year 3 Stone Age museum on Wednesday afternoon. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and found out some interesting facts about the Stone Age.

We are so proud of the children who put a lot of effort into planning, preparing and delivering fantastic activities for the visitors to get involved in!  Well done Year 3!!

For Anti-Bullying Week we looked at how we are all different but all deserve the right to be treated equally no matter what.

We explored our differences and similarities and celebrated our uniqueness.

We worked in groups to write this poem about being different. 

We have been reading 'The Day the Crayons Quit' by Drew Daywalt.

Inspired by this book we have written our own letters from unhappy and unappreciated objects in our classroom which have 'quit'! Check out our publish work on Pobble to see what demands and complaint our objects had.

Stay Safe this Winter!

Bonfire night is just around the corner and the evenings in winter are darker. Follow these links to see how you can stay safe and have fun.
