Our previous topics have been....
'We Will Rock You'
We are learning all about The Stone Age, rocks, soils and minerals.
In our first week, we had a visit from Professor Jones the archaeologist. He taught us all about the stone age and shared his story of 'The Stone Age Boy'.
We acted out some hunting trips and learnt the timeline of the Stone Ages.
We were visited by a wolf, who left us a story to read. We discovered that he was the wolf from the story of Little Red Riding Hood. He made a great big mess in our classroom!
We went on a trip to Wookey Hole Caves to learn all about how the caves were formed. We learnt that the caves are made from a mixture of sandstone and limestone which when mixed together is called 'Pudding Stone'.
We had a very exciting and packed day touring the caves and taking part in a workshop about the different types for rocks and how they are formed.
We then used everything that we had learnt to write our own non-chronological reports all about Witches and Wookey Hole Caves.
Our previous topic was:
'Fabulous France'
We are going to be learning all about the lifestyles, culture and festivals of France throughout this topic.
