Y3’s Visit to The Hancock Museum

8th March 2024Shawnee Watt

The year 3 children visited the Hancock museum to learn more about life in Ancient Egypt. Their engagement and behaviour was outstanding and the children loved the day! They had lots of lovely things to say about it on their return to school. While we were there we were able to recap our learning in other subjects like : science, rocks and soils and fossils, history, stone age to iron age and geography, our local animals life and river.

A huge well done to year three for their responsible attitude to safety, their engagement to learn and their respect for people and objects. Check out just a few snippets of our fantastic day:

In Spring year three have visited the Winter Gardens to learn about the rainforest as well as visiting church to see symbolism within the church.

In science the children have learned about the  detailed parts of a plant involved in the life cycle to accompany this they have created rainforest art in the style of Henry Rousseau.

In ICT the children have learned how to code using scratch, a topic they have very much enjoyed and excelled at.

In music the children have improvised and composed music and rhythems using Bob Marleys’ , Three Little Birds as inspitation.

During our Seal lesson we have been considering risks and how to manage them, the children have learned how to reduce risks by following steps involving thinking through the problem and taking a breath to consider the risks.

The autumn term has been jam packed in year 3 . We have spent some glorious days at farm school learning about where our food comes from and learning how to care for animals . We researched packaging to help us create our own packaging . We have become more skilled during our drumming classes and enjoyed exciting Pe sessions including one with Lucy  A GB champion . We have investigated  types of  rocks using systematic testing to decode if they were igneous , metamorphic or sedementary . We also wrote our own poem to support the reach out nation wide theme for anti- bullying week.
