Great Ormond Street Fundraiser July 2011 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Over the last few weeks, 2 Year Three children, Drew and Mila, have organised a money raising event for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The fundraiser took place in 3PR one Friday afternoon where we asked our classmates to bring in a small donation to buy a cake each. We also asked the children to use only one hand all morning in their lessons. The event was organised after Mila realised how people can really hurt themselves and how difficult it must be for them. In total we raised £26.08.

It's All Greek To Year 3 Nov 2010 |
|
|
|
|
|
|

On Monday we had a Greek Day and this man came in to tell us about ancient Greece. We all dressed up in Greek clothes. We made up our own Greek Olympic games. This included 8 races and in many of our races we had to jump, although race walking was needed since our togas proved difficult to run in. Mandeville Hall became Morgos, an ancient Greek city and we were told ancient Greek myths about the minotaur and the wooden horse of Troy. We had to do a quick quiz and fix puzzles. It was good fun and we learned a little more than we realised.

|
|
|
|
|
This week Year 3 proved masked marvels as a result of a Plastazote workshop on Tuesday. They developed their design and construction skills using Greek mythology as the basis for their designs. They explained to the school how this thermoplastic material enabled them to mould it and glue additional mask parts. Medusa, the Minotaur, Aphrodite and even Hades were all present. The results are the stuff of legend and are proudly on display in the Year 3 corridor. |

Year 3 Want Their Mummies May 2010 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|

On Thursday 13th May Year 3 went on a trip to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge to learn all about the Egyptians. When we finally arrived at the museum, Sarah the Museum's Education Officer took us downstairs to hang up our coats and put our bags away. Sarah told us that we had to leave all of our belongings behind because the artefacts in the museum were very precious and we had to be careful not to contaminate them. We were led through the museum past some really interesting exhibitions until we reached the galleries containing all the Egyptian pieces. The first thing we came upon (which we couldn't really miss) was a huge sarcophagus lid which belonged to the sarcophagus of King Ramesses II! That was really exciting to imagine that it once belonged to the burial place of a great Pharaoh! Sarah gave us a really interesting talk all about where the Egyptians came from, when the lived and how the Nile was the key to their existence. We learnt so many interesting things such as how the Egyptians prepared bodies for the afterlife and one of the cabinets even contained a real human mummy from ancient Egypt ! Year 3 had a fantastic time at the museum and are now looking forward to starting their topic on the Egyptians! Unfortunately museum rules prevent photographs. |
