Greystone's Farm Y3/4 trip:

Year 3 and 4 had an exciting trip at the end of term 1. They went to Greystone's Farm and had a fantastic time! Throughout the day they had different activities to complete. We got to go into the roundhouse where we made some bread and leant how to strike and fire and keep it alight, learning why this was so important for the Iron Age people! We got the chance to look at some Iron Age artefacts and become an archaeologist and much more! We will be learning more about the Iron Age later on this year. This trip was kindly funded by Cotswold Landscapes who were leading the day and taught us all so much, while making it so much fun! Take a look at some of the pictures of the day below. 

Y3/4 Greystone's Farm trip 24

 

Y3/4 had a visit from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service to talk all about the importance of fire safety.

Greystone's Farm trip

Please remember that our trip to Greystone's farm will be taking place on Wednesday 9th October for Kingfisher and half of Dove class and 16th October for Puffin and the rest of Dove class. 
If your child needs an inhaler, they must bring this on the trip.

On the day, we will be spending a lot of time outside so your child will need a jumper and coat, sensible shoes for walking or if possible a pair of wellies. It would be a good idea for your child to wear comfortable shoes and bring wellies in a named carrier bag so that they can change when we get to the farm and then put the shoes back on when we return to the coach.  The children should wear their school uniform on the day. 

They will also need a packed lunch  and a snack (unless you are eligible for and have ordered a free school meal packed lunch) and a water bottle.  The children may have their faces painted on the day, if your child is not able to wear face paint due to allergies etc, please inform the class teacher before the trip. If you have any questions, please see your child's  class teacher.

Thank you

On Friday, year 3 and 4 had our hook day! The day was packed full of many fun activities. We created some clay wings like Icarus, looked at the Greek alphabet and had a go writing our name and finished the day off playing some ancient Greek Olympic games! The games included discus, javelin, shotput and hammer throw! Take a look below at some of the pictures of the day.
