Year 3 – Oak Class

MED Theatre Workshop

23/10/2020

0 Comments

 

This week Suvie and Helen from MED theatre came and led a workshop all about Dartmoor in the Bronze Age. They shared lots of knowledge with us but because we have already learnt a lot already, Helen asked us to show a flame of knowledge if we already knew something or a big sunshine when they taught us something new.
​
We played an active game where we were a stone circle, smelting (heating tin and copper to make bronze), a reave (stone boundary), a roundhouse, a quincunx (a 5 stone formation found on Exmoor) and a cist (burial chamber)

We acted out the story of Marwyn from the the White Horse Hill cist excavation.

We learnt lots of new things as well as recapping our previous learning in a fun dramatic way.
Did you know... 

Bronze is made from 12% tin and 88% copper 
There is evidence of over five thousand roundhouses on Dartmoor
Archaeologists believe that women were the rulers in the Bronze Age

Thank you PTFA for funding this workshop for us.

Writing up a storm in Oak Class...

9/10/2020

We have been writing up a storm in Oak class this week, and learning all about how to write and punctuate dialogue. Our writing is based on 'A Walk in London' by Salvatore Rubbino, which has lead to lots of learning about London and its many famous landmarks.
​
The children have worked so hard and are rightly proud of what they have produced! Amongst other things, they have also been trying to keep rainy weather blues at bay by learning to sing 'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers!

We are really enjoying our local history project!
This week we loved watching this video about Dartmoor History
https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/wildlife-and-heritage/dartmoor-story/dartmoor-story-pages/welcome
There are lots of great fact sheets on the website
https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/learning/basic-factsheets
This weekend why not find out about Dartmoor’s famous slug!
https://www.visitsouthdevon.co.uk/blog/read/2018/06/top-10-fascinating-facts-about-dartmoor-the-heart-of-devon-b210
Another highlight was an afternoon of scientific discovery making and testing paper aeroplanes! We learnt about fair testing and only changing one variable.
We read the rather creepy and strange Hansel and Gretel story by Anthony Brown.  Miss Penny said she didn’t like it because the plot is so sad and the adults in the story are all awful people. She told us to always be critical readers!
