Today, Year 3 have been learning all about their new history topic of The Stone Age. They have looked at the stone age diet, the stone age number system and created their own cave paintings.

Year 3 had a great time during outdoor learning using manmade and natural materials to make boats. Their learning was linked to the story ‘A Home on the River’ and they discussed our school crowns during this activity including curiosity, concentration and independence. The children agreed they need to work on their teamwork when tidying up at the end!
