Walnut Term 1 Week 2

What an amazing and busy week we have had! We've learnt more about the earliest humans and how they lived. We have continued reading the story of 'Stig of the Dump' and used our knowledge of noun phrases and apostrophes to write a character description of Stig. 

In Maths, Year 3 have been learning about representing and partitioning numbers up to 1000, whereas Year 4 have been learning about numbers up to 10,000!

In History we learnt about early Stone Age life by looking at artefacts found at Durrington Walls (a site significant during the Stone Age). We discovered they used to live as solitary hunter gatherers before forming small tribes and eventually larger settlements.

In Science we used our history knowledge to compare the diets of the Stone Age people to our own and looked at which would have been more nutritious.

In Art we explored the Lascaux caves and looked at the amazing cave paintings preserved there, we then analyzed the paintings to look for common themes and what we did and didn't like about them. 

Remember please ...

Swimming is every Tuesday afternoon.

PE is every Thursday afternoon. Children should come to school in their PE kit and keep it on for the day.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

From Mrs Jacobs and Mr Dodd.
