Chatsworth House and Gardens
Wow! We had a fantastic day yesterday, albeit a little wet! The children took part in a workshop all about pollinators. We learnt why pollinators are important and how they pollinate flowers. We also looked up close at flowers (from a bee's eye view!) and looked at the different parts of the flower. We even tasted some flowers and smelt them to get a real feel for how bees, bugs, butterflies and other pollinators are attracted to flowers and plant. The children went into the 'Swamp Garden' where we are prehistoric dinosaur lettuce and super tall monkey trees that the likes of a brontosaurus would've eaten. We even had time for a short play in the adventure play area and visited a brand new foal born that morning! Amazing! Enjoy the pictures below.

World Book Day!
Romans Trip to Murton Park 2026!
Wow what a day we had! The children learnt how to march like a Roman, live and work as a Roman solider and even had a go at some battle training! Before work began, the children had to sign a contract in Latin and even made their own clay pots. A very full but extremely fun day had by all! Well done Year 3!
Design and Technology
The children really enjoyed making their wraps. They made really healthy choices and did so well chopping and spreading their ingredients! Well done Year 3!
Forest School Week 4!
We have battled the cold today! Children enjoyed a cup of warm squash whilst making their Valentines cookies! They have done a super job, I'm sure you'll agree.

Topic
This week in Topic we were learning about different types of skeletons including endo, exo and hydro skeletons. First we had a go at organising skeletons into vertebrates and invertebrates. Well done Year 3!
Forest School Week 1
Well, it was a very muddy session indeed on Tuesday but as you will see from the images below the children absolutely loved it and weren't phased by the mud at all!
Topic WOW! SPRING 1
As you may know, our topic for this term is 'How does the human body work?' For our topic WOW we set up a carousel of activities for the children to get stuck into. We had a giant jigsaw race, when, once completed, the children could read exciting body facts, we had a 'Who's bone?' activity where the children looked at real life bones and had to decide which animal they came from. We also had a 'Name that bone,' station where children had to use what they already knew to name Bob the skeletons bones and 'Name that organ,' where again, children had to use what they already know to name each organ. On top of that, the children did some amazing fact finding! Well done Year 3!

Topic WOW!
We've gone back in time in year 3 as we embark on our Stone Age journey to discover 'What prehistory has got to do with life in Britain today!' We became cave artists adn discussed that this is how historians have learnt a lot about our history before events were written.
