Have a look at our Curriculum Map for Term 2 below, to learn about all the exciting learning we will be doing this term! There are also some documents to help with Reading and Spelling too.
Spring Term 2025
Trip to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford!
It was very exciting for the year three's this term as we went on our first school trip - for some of us, this would have been our first ever trip! We had lots of different activities to do in the museum: listening to an expert on Ancient Egypt, a treasure hunt looking at artefacts, "Holding History in our Hands" where children were able to touch and hold artefacts that were nearly 3000 years old! Finally, we were able to have some time to explore the museum with our teachers and teaching assistants and had a go at sketching the artwork on display. Have a look through our pictures and see if you can spot an addition to the trip from Willow Class...
Our Egyptian Masks
In art we looked at Ancient Egyptian death masks and created our own! We started off by learning about portraits and had a go at drawing a self-portrait. Then we studied different masks and looked at the features and colours used. We then used our history knowledge of the Ancient Egyptians to help us design our own mask and learnt how to use papier mache to create our masks.
Mummifying Barbies!
As part of our Ancient Egyptian topic we have learnt about how and why the Ancient Egyptians took part in the process of mummification. To help us remember all the steps, we had a go at mummifying some dolls!
Autumn Term 2024
'Caveman' Poetry Performance
In Willow class, we thought of how we could perform the poem 'Caveman' that we are studying as part of our Stone Age History topic this term. As a class, we shared our ideas of: different actions, the tone and volume of each line and where we could perform this. This is our final performance after spending a bit of time practising together.
Ukulele Concert
We have been learning how to play the Ukulele, having music lessons every Thursday morning. Here is a short compilation of our concert that our classes performed to parents at the end of the Autumn Term. We will continue to have lessons in the new year and we are hoping to have another concert at the end of the school year so we can see how much more progress can be made on our instruments!
