English - The Stone Age Boy
This week in English, we started reading a mystery story called The Stone Age Boy which also links with out History topic. Once we had listened to the story, in small groups or individually we created freeze-frames and the rest or the class needed to use their inference skills to describe what part of the story was being acted out.

Making Sandwiches
Today, we made our sandwiches! First, we looked at our plans to check how we were going to make them. After, we had a discussion about hand hygiene and why it is important. Finally, we carefully made our sandwiches, before evaluating them!
In today’s lesson, we listened to the ‘King of Fishes’. After summarising the plot, we watched how the text was turned into a story map. In small groups, our class re-told the folktale through drama.
Local History Week
During Local History Week, Year 3's enquiry question was: 'What impact have the Nelson Family had on our local area.' Firstly, we looked at the Nelson Family tree and discussed how they George Nelson had a pharmacy in Leamington Spa- which is still there today.
We then looked at George Nelson created 'table jelly.' During the Victorian Era, luxuries were limited for most people and the introduction of 'table jelly' was revolutionary.
Finally, we finished the week with a walk around Charles Street. Here we looked at the different styles of houses and then walked down to the Nelson Club. We looked at the blue plaque which is a commemoration of the Nelson Family.
