This week in Puffin Class, we got our hands messy and creative as we made fossil imprints using salt dough! This linked to our Rocks topic, where we learned that fossils are formed when plants or animals become trapped in layers of sediment over millions of years, leaving behind an imprint or preserved remains. We also stepped back into the Stone Age and created our own clay pots using the pinch and coil methods, just as people did thousands of years ago. To make them even more authentic, we decorated them with natural materials such as twigs and leaves, just as Stone Age people would have used from their surroundings. We loved bringing our learning to life through these exciting hands-on activities! 🌿🦴🏺

Puffin class has been busy exploring the Stone Age this week by using pastels to sketch pots with detailed patterns. These ancient pots were made from clay and used by people to store food and cook their meals. The children showed great determination and perseverance while perfecting their artwork.

We’ve had a brilliant first week back in Puffin class, settling into our new routines and focusing on high standards for our book presentation. It has been so exciting to dive into our Stone Age topic, and the effort everyone has put into their work is already shining through. I am incredibly proud of how fantastic these books look, and this is a wonderful start to the year for all of you.

Welcome, Puffin Class, to Year 3! It's been wonderful to see how quickly you've settled in. This week, we kicked off our Stone Age topic by crafting amazing woolly mammoths from recycled materials, and the children had an absolute blast. A huge thank you to all the parents who helped make this creative introduction possible!
