Classroom Learning
Stone Age Cave Paintings
As part of our new topic in Year 3—The Stone Age—the children had the opportunity to create their own cave paintings, utilising materials reminiscent of those used during that era. They examined authentic examples of Stone Age art, which inspired their recreations. This engaging activity not only enhanced their understanding of prehistoric culture but also allowed them to express their creativity. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and one cannot help but recognise the impressive quality of their work.
Science-Rocks
In Year 3, our science curriculum is intricately linked to the fascinating topic of the Stone Age. During these lessons, children are actively investigating various types of rocks and examining their properties. Emphasising a hands-on approach, the children had the opportunity to engage with real rocks, enhancing their understanding through direct observation and practical study. This integration of subjects not only deepens their knowledge of geological concepts but also enriches their overall learning experience within the historical context of the Stone Age.
Mathematics Learning
In mathematics, children have been exploring the concept of place value and utilising this knowledge to enhance their addition skills. To deepen their understanding, children are encouraged to employ concrete resources, fostering a lasting visual representation in their minds. Here are some of the children engaging with these invaluable mathematical resources.
