What a week! We’ve enjoyed a visit from a local author, created our own dramatic soundtrack to a ‘Night on a Bare Mountain’ by Mussorgsky, crawled through an exhausting bootcamp fitness afternoon, shared our favourite texts on World Book Day, created the layers of the Earth out of chocolate and began our focus on the story Stone Age Boy.

Everyday has been different this week and the children have loved the variety of activities, getting stuck in with their usual enthusiasm. Take a look at the photos below.

A lot of the children have begun to ask about the different types of rocks that they have been finding on their travels. If your child would like to bring in a selection of rocks they are very welcome to. Can they do some research and label the type of rocks they have found. Do they think they are Sedimentary, Igneous or Metamorphic? 

Next week we will be exploring where The Stone Age sits in history by creating our own timeline beginning with the present day and tracking back to the birth of Jesus then back to The Stone Age for the children to realise that modern day time is literally a ‘sneeze’ in the larger picture of the history of mankind.

Have a great weekend everyone!
