Mrs Watts’ Flint-Knapping Visit

Mrs Watts and James came in to show us all of their stone age and iron age artefacts. They also showed us how the Stone Age people knapped flint. They used large pieces of flint and  deer antlers to chip parts off to make tools such as hide scrapers, arrowheads and axes.

Dr Rogers’ visit – Rock and Fossils

Dr Steve Rogers came in to show us the amazing fossils he studies and talk to us about what and how we can learn from them. We loved looking at the ammonites and trilobites especially. He also showed us different rock samples and we asked questions from our Rocks science unit.

Investigating What Plants Need to Live

We learned about what plants needed to live and what happens to plants if they don’t get those conditions. We worked in groups to design a fai test. Each plant was the same to start with then one was given no light, one was given no water, one was given no air and the other was given the wrong temperature (cold). We also had a control that had all of those conditions. We observed the plants over the following week.

Number Games

We have been enjoying activities around number and here we were playing a memory game where we had to match 3-digit numbers in numerals and words. It became very competitive!

Rocks and Fossils with Dr Rogers 27th November 2024

Today we had a fabulous visit from geologist Dr Steven Rogers. He brought in lots of different rock samples for us to look closely at and some amazing fossils to hold and study. We learnt a lot about igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks as well as fossils such as trilobites and ammonites.

Flint Knapping with Mrs Watts 20th November 2024

On 20th November 2024 we were lucky enough to welcome Mrs Suzy Watts into Class 3 to show and tell us all about flint knapping, a stone age skill. Flint knapping is the skill of making stone tools by hitting a stone core with a hammer to create flakes. The flakes are then shaped into tools like arrowheads, knives, and spearpoints.

Prehistoric Art October 2024

This term we have been learning about prehistoric cave paintings and trying some ourselves using pastel and charcoal. We have been drawing animals on paper and sandpaper we they could experience what it may have been like to paint or draw on cave walls. You can also see us working on coil clay pots and some of the ones we have made.

 

Beeston Castle Trip

On 22nd October 2024, Classes 3 and 4 visited Beeston Castle in Cheshire. We walked up the very steep hill to the top where we saw the ruins of the medieval castle. We could see for miles and miles! We also visited a replica Bronze Age roundhouse.
