Year 3 have been comparing old photos with what is there today

Year 3 looked carefully at the old photographs to see how things in our local environment have  changed over the last generation (70 years or so).

Year 3 Fun - following the route of the old Abbotsbury Railway

Children in Year 3 have had fun this week studying Geology, History and Geography associated  with the local environment. We stopped off at nine different locations to collected rocks, to compare old photographs to the modern picture and to look at interesting things.
There is a similar trip planned next week for another group of Y3 children.
My thanks to the parents and grandparents that came along to help us with this exciting day out.

Home Learning Year 3 (wk3)

Home Learning – Year Three   - 21st  September

Following our “Poetry Focus” this week, we are asking the children in Year 3 to have a go at “learning a short poem off-by-heart”.  They have had a look at various different types of poem this week and can now choose one from any style that they wish (- including one of their own creations).

Many Thanks,

Duncan MacBean

Year 3 at Maiden Castle Farm

The children in year 3 enjoyed an interesting visit to Maiden Castle Farm. We learned about how the harvest is gathered using lots of specialist machinery. We were able to look at the farm machinery close up.
We also got to meet the pigs.
Thank you to Hazel for sharing her time, knowledge and expertise.

South Dorset Ridgeway Project Visit Y3 and Y4

Looking at axes with County Archaeologist, Steve Wallis

Today a group of children from Year 3 and 4 went to Kingston Maurward to take part in a South Dorset Ridgeway Project event. The children took part in a mixture of workshops led by local experts (artists, story-tellers and archaeologists) and had a thoroughly exciting time.
I was really proud with the children for the interest and enthusiasm that they showed throughout the day.

There are lots more photographs in the Year 3 Gallery.
