Magic moments in

Year 3

Our first trip to Hampstead

Heath in October was to learn

about rocks and soils – the Heath

has an abundance of different

soils: London Clay, Bagshot Sands

and Claygate Beds to name a few.

We were able to investigate a few

of the soil types ourselves.

In December we visited The

Natural History Museum to

consolidate our work on dinosaurs.

We toured the various galleries

and completed a ‘dino scene

investigation’ workshop where we

acted as Archaeologists to

uncover fossils!

International week was held in

January. It was a celebration of

African drumming and acting,

cultural stories we learnt and

shared with our friends and

culminated with an afternoon of

sampling delicious food from

around the world.

In December we had our annual

French breakfast!

The children had to order their

items in French from Madame

Willoughby.

The children enjoyed croissants,

pain au chocolate and madeleines.

February brought us a wonderful

Chinese New Year workshop.

The children learnt how to perform

traditional Chinese dances with fans

and umbrellas. They finished with a

class Dragon dance!

Our trip to the British Museum in

January consolidated our work on the

Egyptians.

We visited the Egyptian galleries and

looked at life in ancient Egypt. We

learnt about the embalming process

and were able to view some real

artefacts that had been put in tombs.

Also on display was ‘Ginger’ a real

mummified body that had been buried

in a shallow grave.

Some other activities we’ve done so

far this year:

To get into the spirit of things we held

an Egyptian Day in the class in April!

Everyone looked fabulous! We had

Pharaohs’, Queens and even Howard

Carter (Mrs Afford!).

The children prepared food to

authentic Egyptian recipes and it was

delicious.
