Today year 3 joined an online workshop with author Aoife Dooley who has written the graphic novels called 'Squid squad'. We joined in with a drawing lesson creating some of the sea creature characters from Aoife's book. We then listened to Aoife talk about what it is like to be an author and where her ideas come from.

Check out our awesome hunting skills. We had to try and kill a cave bear, a woolly mammoth or a sabre tooth rider. Niki managed to kill all 3 with only three spears!

We have had so much during our workshop today. We have learned so many new facts about what life was like during the Stone Age. We had a close inspection of some real artefacts including a real woolly mammoth's tusk, hair and lots of real flint. We had a go at being hunter gatherers practising our hunting skills using spears. We then got to meet a wooly rhino in our classroom. Please ask the children what they enjoyed the most and I am sure that they will have lots to share.
Please look through our terrific photos.

Year 3 worked collaboratively to research and present a poster about different periods of time of the Stone Age. We found out about the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age times. After they made their time line posters they presented them to the class using their oracy skills.
