On Thursday 2nd February we had a visit from Cleveland Mountain Rescue. Pete and Craig came into talk to us about what they do and the equipment they use to search for, and rescue people. They also spoke to us about how we can stay safe on our local moors and hills.

Class 3 have been learning about Remembrance this week in school. We created beautiful water colour and collage poppies and thought about how important poppies are at this time of year. This morning we visited the War Memorial in Sowerby.

On Wednesday 8^th June Class 3 had a fact finding trip to Teesmouth Field Centre to learn about Rocks and Fossils. 

This is Emily’s report about the trip:

First we went into the field centre and Mrs Burns told us about lots of different types of rocks, fossils and shells. Some of us pretended to be sand, soils and mud. We then sat on each other’s knees to show how layers are formed in rock by squishing together...

Class 3 had a fantastic day in York at the Yorkshire Museum. We dressed up as Roman Soldiers, played games, decoded Roman numerals, practised marching and were tested to see if we could sign up to be a Roman Legionary. Luckily we were all a little too short!

After lunch we explored the museum and learnt more about Roman York and finding skeletons in the toilets!

We have been making models of the water cycle today after the chidren designed and planned their models for homework.
We had a wide variety of models - all brilliantly designed and executed. From well labelled 3D pictures and water cycle shoe boxes to working models in plastic tubs where we could see the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation before our eyes!
Great Scientific thinking Class 3! 

As part of our Stone Age to Iron Age topic, Class 3 had special visitor who came in to school to tell us about life in the Stone Age.  
The children then wrote recounts to tell the rest of the school about the visit.

We started the day off with everyone joining in to 'wake up and boogie' and as
you can see it was great fun!
After some fabulous coordinate and right angle work in Maths we made
and decorated gingerbread biscuits.
