Today class 3 went back in history about 2000 years (1963 to be exact!) and became members of the Dumnonii tribe who lived in Devon and Cornwall during this period. They were called to a tribe meeting as Romans had been spotted on their tribal land and had to decide what they wanted to do. There were 3 options: - [...]
Our first day back at school had two things special about it - the start of our school value, "We Are a Community" and it being Shrove Tuesday too! Love Your Neighbour As Yourself (look at the whoops! Cheers and hugs that Miss Trute got for wining the staff race) And also congratulations to the ever-so competitive Team Parker for [...]
Considering our children may be spending more time inside and online (given the change of weather halfway through our half term break!) I thought I'd share some online safety information. We blogged about Internet Safety Day before we broke up... but we've also just updated our Safeguarding webpage to include some brilliant and handy support guides. Maintaining a knowledge of [...]

Class 3 made Sediment pebbles a few weeks ago... We made TRACE fossils last week, which is where something leaves a trace that something was there... like Amelie's necklace (dropped and picked up), or Jack's dinosaur footprint. Today, we made BODY fossils. We almost layered our birthday-boy Barney between layers of salt-dough sediment, but we just didn't have enough salt dough [...]

Class 3 had some fun making real, sedimentary pebbles today! Igneous and metamorphic would be hugely difficult (and we've no resources at all to make those!) but we were successful with little sedimentary rocks.Sedimentary rocks are layers of... sediment. So we layered sand and soil and squashed them very, very tightly. It was quite exciting! The main photo I've used [...]
This week, we've been reading the story 'The Magic Paintbrush' by Julia Donaldson. In the story, Shen uses her magic paintbrush to paint a dragon to keep the emperor away. Today we painted a dragon of our own! 'A beast with scales and claws.' We found different ways to make the scales - from patting the brush for a 3D [...]
