We have had a great first week at Year 3. We have been learning more about this term’s topic of ‘The Stone Age’ and learning about what life was like 10,000 years ago. We discovered that it is very different to how we live today.
We have been reading Stone Age Boy- a story about a boy who falls into a cave and wakes up in the Stone Age. He meets strange people and learns about their lives.
This week, Year 3 got the opportunity to go on a problem solving and exciting trip to Nell Bank. The children were tested on their teamworking skills, problem solving and resilience. It was great to see the children working together and having fun.
Thank you so much to our parent volunteers who came on the trip, it is very much appreciated.
This week, Park Spring celebrated their 60th anniversary. Year 3 had an amazing time learning about what life was like in the 60’s, specifically what kind of television programmes they used to watch.
We even got to dress up as characters from the film ‘Mary Poppins’ as the film came out in 1964.
This week, Year 3 had the opportunity to go the polling station to vote for our student councillors for 24/25. The children had their ballot papers and got to choose their winner.
Thank you to all of the candidates who put themselves forward and well done to our winners.
This week, Year 3 had the opportunity to learn a new song in their singing assembly. This particular song was a well-known favourite from the movie ‘Grease’. We go together…
On Thursday 10th of October, we celebrated World Mental Health Day and got to wear an item of yellow. In Year 3, we had class discussions about why our mental health is as important as our physical health and what to do to look after our mental health.
We also did some mindfulness colouring which the children thoroughly enjoyed.
On Tuesday 15th October this week, Park Spring had a Commando Joes celebration day. Commando Joes is a lesson we have each week where the children have the opportunity to participate in problem solving and team building activities. An instructor came in and all Year 3 had a great lesson and participated well, showing great teamwork skills.
This week, we learned more about our Stone Age topic by learning about a place called Star Carr. Star Carr is a place from the Mesolithic Stone Age that archaeologists today use to learn about what happened all those years ago. The children learnt that at Star Carr, there were lots of items left from the Stone Age such as fossils, antler masks and tools.
Here are some examples of the children’s learning:
