    For our Science, we have been looking at forces. We learnt about a force called friction and how it effects the movement of objects. We wanted to find out which materials made the car go further.

We found out that a lot of archaeologists believed it was used for religious purposes. They also thought it could be used for a burial site.  

    We then created a replica of the Stonehenge using lego, mutli link cubes and playdough. We made sure we included the features such as the altar, the heel stone and Outer Circle of Sarsen stones.

  • Year 3 cave drawings

The children started by shading their background which provided a strong background for them to work on. Each child chose an animal to draw using the 2D shapes method they got taught. Some of the children even used handprints!
