The Boy With The Bronze Axe, Kathleen Fidler.
This is the story of life nearly 3,000 years ago. Kali and Brockan are in trouble. They have been using their stone axes to chip limpets off the rocks, but they've gone too far out and find themselves trapped by the tides. Then, an unexpected rescuer appears, a strange boy in a strange boat, carrying a strangely sharp axe of a type they had never seen before.
The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog, Jeremy Strong
Streaker is no ordinary dog. She's a rocket on four legs with a woof attached, and Trevor has got until the end of the holidays to train her. If he fails, he'll lose his bet with horrible Charlie Smugg, and something very, very yucky involving frogspawn will happen.
Stig of the Dump, Clive King
Barney is a solitary little boy, given to wandering off by himself. One day he is lying on the edge of a disused chalk-pit when it gives way and he lands in a sort of cave.
Here he meets 'somebody with a lot of shaggy hair and two bright black eyes' wearing a rabbit skin and speaking in grunts. He names him Stig.
Of course nobody believes Barney when he tells his family all about Stig, but for Barney cave-man Stig is totally real.
Year 3 visited Compton Verney where the children became Stone Age Settlers for the day and learnt lots of new Stone Age Skills.
In the studio, the children took part in three different activities: handling artefacts and learning more about them, making Stone Age jewellery and pots from clay and also creating their own class Cave Painting.
In the outside Forest School activities, Year 3 learnt how to make flatbread, how to spark a fire, how to make a Stone Age home by weaving long sticks in and out and using wattle and daub to insulate the walls and finally den building.
It was a fantastic day working as Stone Age Settlers and the children definitely learnt a lot of new Stone Age skills!
Christmas 2023
Maple Class visited the local Dementia Cafe at Whitnash Civic Centre where they performed a range of different Christmas carols!
They even had some special requests they were so good! The children behaved impeccably and were such wonderful role models for our school that they have been asked to visit again in the new year!
