Please look at our video called, ‘Would it be OK…?’ about the plight of Sumatran Tigers.

Anti-Bullying Week (Year 3) , by Miss Jones
Date: 21st Nov 2017 @ 5:45pm
Anti-bullying Week – Monday 13th– Friday 17th November 2017
During the week we did lots of activities to become more aware of the effect of bullying. We learnt the different types of bullying and what this might look like. The children used toothpaste to help them understand that once we have said something, we cannot take it back. Just like once we have squeezed the toothpaste out of the tube, we cannot get it all back in!
We also talked about how hurtful comments can upset people and why we should treat people how we want to be treated ourselves. We used two apples to help show this. An apple we said nice things too looked lovely when we cut it open. However, the apple we said unkind things to was bruised and brown on the inside when cut. This shows how hurtful comments can be to someone's feelings on the inside.
We also watched a video called 'for the birds' where a bird was left out by other small birds because he looked different. The children considered big birds thoughts and feelings when this happened. They also had advice for big bird and anyone else who might be being bullied. Check out our gallery....
Year 3's Stone Age Visitor , by Miss Jones
Date: 21st Nov 2017 @ 3:16pm
What an exciting day Year 3 have had today! We took part in a Stone Age workshop led by Mr and Mrs Trevor, as part of our topic work. We even had a Stone Age visitor!
The children looked at artefacts and made predictions during their historical enquiry. They also sketched some of their favourite tools and weapons. Halfway through the workshop, we were joined by a Stone Age Man who was dressed from head to toe in animal skin/fur! We were able to ask him lots of questions such as how he made his clothes and tools and why he wore a necklace made from shells.
The children enjoyed answering lots of questions using what they already knew about life in Stone Age Britain. Mrs Trevor said that she really enjoyed working with the children from Oldfield because they had clearly listened well and learnt a lot during lessons.
Miss Jones, Mrs Jenson and Mrs Wood were very proud of the children's questions, answers and their behaviour.
