Our timetable
Tuesday 29th November
Rocks
Year 3 have been finding out about rocks and fossils today. We had an amazing collection of stones provided by the Wrens Nest Nature Reserve in Dudley. We were able to find and identify sedimentary rocks, and crinoid, coral and shell fossils.
Some of the rocks were simply packed with crinoid and coral remains. We found out how sedimentary rocks are formed and how fossils can be found within them. Everyone was really engaged in looking for their fossils!
Tuesday 13th September
Maps
As part of their Story maps mini- adventure, Year 3 looked at how maps show us a plan view. They drew their own sketch maps of a Lego village and we found out what our school looks like as a map!
We then used our own maps to complete an orienteering course. It was great finding the locations on our maps and then running to find the
actual places.
We also looked at real OS maps and found out about the symbols used, and how maps are divided into grids.
