School trip!

Year 3 took a trip to Lancaster Castle at the start of this half term! This was to support our Geography topics of Lancaster and settlements. We walked from school to the castle. On the way we stopped off to see the Roman baths and had a discussion about what life would have been like back then.

The walk continued up to the Castle walls where we could see both the castle and the Priory.

We stopped for a snack and played some games in next to the castle when we arrived. Then we looked at the gravestones on the steps to see if we knew any names. Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. The security staff walked us to the cell where we would be eating lunch.
Then it was time for our tour of the castle, we learnt all about the Pendle Witches, saw the old prison cells and even got to play hide and seek in there! It was such a great day!

Art
Our focus this half term in art is printing. During this lesson, the children were finding natural objects with various textures to use to make a masterpiece!
Here are some photos of Year 3’s using vegetables to paint and print with before we start our final project!
Science
This half term our topic was Magnets. The children gained a strong understanding of the poles on the magnets, which materials attract and repel magnets and how to test if an object is magnetic. At the end of our we created games using magnets.

P.E
We are super lucky to have Dan our Expert Judo Instructor teaching our Thursday PE lessons. Year 3 are really getting stuck into these classes🥋
