Last week, 3C went to Adel Woods in search of a piece of Victorian history! We were lucky enough to find the Seven Arches aqueduct! When we were there we did some sketching of the aqueduct and considered his this would have been used during the Victorian times. On the way we tuned in our inner ACE Geographer and mapped the route.
We had a great time exploring atlases to try and work out what the Country of the Month was this month! Our amazing map skills helped us to find it on a world map and discover that it was Poland!
This week, 3C have ventured on a local walk to the Seven Arches Aqueduct in Adel Woods. We then used natural materials to create some art work and did some observational drawing of some of the natural beauties in our local area.
This afternoon, Year 3 had the pleasure of being joined by Dagur. A real Icelandic tour guide! Dagur was kind enough to give us his time to tell us all about Iceland. We had a chance to ask him questions about life, culture, tourism, geographical features in Iceland and much more.
We found out that there are no trains in Iceland! He was very impressed with the questions we asked. He even shared a story about witnessing a volcanic eruption!
In Art this half term we have been creating a piece of artwork inspired by the Northern Lights in Iceland. We used tie dye to create the scene and then started to sew a volcano on top, to really represent the beautiful island of Iceland!
