1. Thinking about what archaeologists find:

What 1000 year old things do archaeologists find? – Make a list.

What 1000 year old things do archaeologists not find?  - Make a list.

 Complete the activity sheet – "Anglo-Saxon Remains” (created by English Heritage).

2. Times Tables
The children had another "Times Tables Quiz" today.
There will be another one on Friday next week.
The children should know which "quiz/test they need to practise for:

Tuesday Mixed Year 1 and Year3 Drama sessions.

Today we had fun mixing with the children in Year One.
We did an activity based on the book "How to Train Your Dragon" (by Cressida Cowell) led by Mrs. Thorpe.
We did an activity based on the book "Unicorns! Unicorns!" (by Geraldine McCaughrean) led by Mr. MacBean.
Lots of excellent written work was created from the two drama inputs.
Well done Years 1 and 3!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Well done to our visiting B.Ed. students from Plymouth University for running and exciting drama session on Monday based on Roald Dahl's popular story "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The children enjoyed "getting into role" as the "Golden Ticket Winners" and writing up news reports.

Chinese Drama Activity Wednesday


Wednesday 25th February – Chinese Cinderella Drama
Dear Parents,
The children in Year 3 are going to be taking part in a drama session called “Yeh Shen”. This is a Chinese version of the story of “Cinderella”.

Mr. Stone, who is leading the session, has asked the children to bring in dressing gowns and pyjamas to put on over their clothes to liven the drama up a bit. Any Chinese artefacts would also be great. (Nothing too precious)
Please bring these in a labelled plastic bag.

Many Thanks,
Duncan MacBean

Anglo-Saxons - Home Learning


Spring Half Term Holiday   - Year 3 Home Learning
What can you find out about The Anglo-Saxons?
- their homes, family life, customs, religion, wars, kings/queens, when/where they lived.
It would be great if you could present some of your findings:
Maybe a short piece of writing, or diagrams, or pictures etc

Have a great holiday!
