History

In History, Year 3 have been learning about the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae, Orkney. The children have explored the fascinating artefacts that were discovered there after being completely preserved for around 4,000 years by sand. Did you know that the Stone Age inhabitants of Skara Brae had jewellery made from teeth, ate shellfish and even had dice? The children were interested to learn that the people of Skara Brae had pet dogs (we know because archeologists have found ancient dog poop)! This week, the children used what they have learned to create their own impression of Skara Brae. See below for their fantastic work.

This week was week 2 and we explored the musical terminology 'timbre' and 'dynamics'. The children enjoyed exploring different types of percussion instruments and the different sounds that they could create. They composed some short pieces of music, all about a cloud. They performed their compositions and the rest of the class described the mood that they had created through their music, using the new musical vocabulary, timbre and dynamics.

When applying this skill to tag rugby, the children soon worked out that movement was key! They realised that being a moving target meant that there more space for teammates to use.
