ART AND DESIGN
SPECIAL EVENTS AND VISITORS
Pupils will be taught:
To create sketch books to record their observations and
use them to review and revisit ideas.
To improve their mastery of art and design techniques,
including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of
materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, and clay].
They will learn about great artists, architects and
designers in history.
We have unearthed some artefacts from the
Stone Age on our school site, we will be finding
out more about the objects that we found.
KEY TEXTS
EDUCATIONAL VISITS
Pupils will work scientifically by: observing rocks,
and exploring how and why they might have
changed over time; using a hand lens or
microscope to help them to identify and classify
rocks according to whether they have grains or
crystals, and whether they have fossils in them.
Pupils will research and discuss the different kinds
of living things whose fossils are found in
sedimentary rock and explore how fossils are
formed. Pupils will explore different soils and
identify similarities and differences between them
and investigate what happens when rocks are
rubbed together or what changes occur when they
are in water. Our trip will be to the Wrens Nest
Nature Reserve and The Dudley Museum.
SCIENCE
Pupils will be taught to:
Compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the
basis of their appearance and simple physical properties
Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when
things that have lived are trapped within rock.
Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic
matter.
We are looking forward to inviting the parents
of Year 3 into school to take part on a creative
afternoon (date to be arranged).
