Our Learning Journey
Samphire Hoe Stone Age Day
Year 3 visited Samphire Hoe for a Stone Age Day.
They learnt how to survive in the Stone Age through a series of activities led by the rangers from Samphire Hoe. These included hunting a (wooden) deer, learning how to forage, creating and using Stone Age paints, weaving with willow and whittling an arrow from a piece of hazel wood. They were also shown how fire was made and how to track animals.
The sun shone and an enjoyable day was had by all.

Writing Instructions
As part of our learning about Instruction Writing, the children had to wash a very dirty soft toy and then write instructions explaining what they had to do. This hands on, practical activity generated a lot of enjoyment as well as team work while learning.
Rocks and Fossils
In our Science work, we have been finding out about rocks and fossils. A very kind parent brought in some rocks and fossils from their own collection, for us to look at in class. We really enjoyed looking at them and finding out where they were from.
Thank you Mrs Odell for letting us look at your wonderful collection and helping us with our learning.
Being a Palaeontologist
We found out about the job of being a Palaeontologist by having to extract 'fossils' (chocolate chips) from a 'rock' (biscuit). We learnt that you had to have a lot of patience and that you had to scrape the rock away carefully in order to extract the fossil in one piece.
