Canoeing Enrichment Year 3.

Year 3 have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to go canoeing. Children were taught how to row forwards, backwards, turn left and right. Children also helped to return the canoes and take off the ropes to secure them safely. The children had so much fun and we have ticked off one of our enrichments this year! Have a look at some pictures. 🛶😁🍂

Year 3 Visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre!

Our Visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre

We had a fantastic visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre to learn more about life in the Stone Age. We took part in a range of exciting, hands-on activities, including learning how Stone Age people made fires and creating our own cave art paintings. We also explored the museum, where we looked at displays showing what life was like in the Stone Age, including campfires and an impressive woolly mammoth skeleton. To finish our visit, we watched an interesting video all about discovering life in the Stone Age. It was a fun and informative experience that helped us develop our knowledge and understanding of how people lived thousands of years ago! We had so much fun!

Well done to all the children for their wonderful behaviour on the trip!

Take a look at some of the photos from the day!

 

Year 3 – World First Aid Day

In Year 3, for World First Aid Day, we looked at bites and stings. We looked at the different animals that can bite or sting and then we sorted the animal into whether they bite or sting.

We then looked at how to treat bites or stings and what to do if someone suffers from an allergic reaction after a bite or a sting.

Year 3 Stone Age Drawing!

We have started off our journey in Year 3 by looking at Stone Age Art! We were intrigued to find out how art was created in the Caves during the Stone Age. We tried techniques such as stippling and blended fade to draw Stone Age animals using charcoal.

Here is some of our work!

 

Careers Day Dress Up in Mrs Cottrell’s Class!

In Year 2, we had lots of fun dressing up for Careers Day! We had vets, doctors, singers, footballers, a pilot, a police officer, YouTubers and even ‘Mini Mrs Cottrells’. 😀😀😀

Year 2 Careers Week

As part of Careers Week, Year 2 enjoyed visits from some very special guests who shared their exciting jobs with us.

We were fascinated to meet Tom, a British Airways pilot, who told us all about his daily role, the important safety checks he completes before every flight, and the many amazing destinations he has travelled to around the world. We even had the chance to pretend we were landing an aeroplane and were thrilled to try on his pilot’s hat!

We also welcomed a hairdresser called Sam, who explained what it’s like to work in a salon and shared some of the skills needed to care for and style hair. She told us that her favourite hairstyle that she has ever done was one for the Olympics!

 

The visits were a fantastic way to inspire our children and help them learn about a variety of careers. A big thank you to our visitors for giving up their time to make Careers Week so memorable!

Year 2 Sculptures

In Year 2, we have been looking at the artist Marc Quinn. He is a sculptor who makes flower sculptures out of bronze. We have been inspired by him and have decided to make our own flower sculptures out of clay! 🌸🌺🌻🌼

Here are some pictures of us in the process of making our sculptures. We needed to cut, roll and mould the clay to recreate our design plan! We then added texture to our flowers!

 

   

      

     

 

Stay tuned to see our final pieces once we have painted them 😁

Year 2 Visit to Dorothy Clive Gardens

On Tuesday 21st April,  Year 2 had an exciting visit to Dorothy Clive Gardens!

We walked around the beautiful, colourful gardens, visited the waterfall, planted some seeds and found out all about bees and how we can protect them!

After visiting the waterfall, we care going to create a diamante poem to describe the waterfall at Dorothy Clive.

We all had a wonderful day out 😊

   

   

  

 

How To Grow A Sunflower!

In Year 2, we have started off the half term by planting sunflower seeds! We are planting sunflower seeds because in Science we want to find out what conditions are best to grow a sunflower!

As part of English, we used our speaking and listening skills to tell each other the correct order to plant a sunflower seeds. We started off by ordering the instructions and used these to explain to our friends how to plant the seeds correctly.

We can’t wait to watch them grow and see which conditions are best for the sunflower to grow!
