Cedar Y3 - Autumn Term

In Cedar class this term, we have been learning about World War 2. We have brought in artefacts from home and talked with members of our families about the war. Ellie brought in a gas mask used for a baby during air raids, Ben bought in an adult sized gas mask and several children brought in gas masks from the present day which we were able to compare. Jasmine’s dad showed us his special protective suit, used when police are faced with a chemical situation.

We visited STEAM in Swindon, and loved dressing up. We had a great day, met some real life war veterans, took part in lots of role play, sat in an air raid shelter and heard a real air raid siren. We had our lunch and our guide said that she had never seen such tidy tables! We would definitely recommend a visit, although the queues in the shop were unbelievable!

We have just finished our Science Week, where we took part in Science investigations every day. We learnt about light and shadow and used our mathematical skills to record our findings.
