History

As part of our WW2 topic, we went to see an Anne Frank exhibition at Barnsley Library. We were shown around by pupils from Horizon School. It was fascinating to see the collection.

It was brilliant to learn even more about our local history. We went down the mine and learnt all about mining through the ages. It was brilliant to see lots of artefacts and sources from local history.

As part of our ‘London’s Burning’ topic we held a very exciting theme day. We came dressed as Victorians and our classroom was transformed into a classroom from the era. We wrote on blackboard, baked bread, practiced our sewing and lots more.

We visited Eden Camp to learn all about WW2 for our topic. We had a brilliant time and asked lots of amazing questions. It was really interesting and we saw lots of brilliant artefacts from the time. It is really going to help us with our work back in school.

!Today we have been to Leeds City Museum. We went to look at all the Ancient Egyptian artefacts. They had loads! We had different workshops as well. In one we made amulets and in the other one we found out all about mummification! We had a great time.

We had some funny faces whilst learning about the process of mummification today! Year 3 now know every step in the process and why the Egyptians thought it was important to do this.
