Belated pictures from a lovely day out on the Duke of Westminster's Estate.

Geography fieldwork was so much fun! Two glorious days on the banks of the River Dee exploring how it is used in comparison with the mouth of the River Mersey.

As part of fractions Year 3 have been working out practically how to find 2/3, 3/4 or 5/8ths of a number.

Year 3 have been finding out that light cannot travel through an object and this is how shadows are created.

What a wonderful week to take literacy outside. The weather provided a wonderful muse to help us improve our sentences when setting a scene, be it under the beautiful blue sky or in the shade of our wooded copse. 

Well they do in science! Year 3 find out that two North poles or two South poles repel each other, but North and South poles attract.

We had a great day out finding out what it took to be in the Roman army 

and all about Chester's ancient history under Roman occupation. 

In science we have been learning about forces. This week we learned how friction helps us slow down!

We have been learning all about abstract art. We have focused on the artist Anthony Caro. We have been creating our abstract art based on similar ideas.
