Today our Northmoor choir went to sing at Chadderton Tesco. We were very excited to entertain the public. Many people stood and listened to our wonderful singing before moving on to do their shopping. I hope we were able to put a smile on peoples faces as big as the ones that we had!

As part of our Stones 'n' Bones history topic, we were visited today by someone all the way from the Stone Age! Lucy told us all about what life was like for her thousands of years ago and showed us different artefacts from her time. We experimented with bones to see what tools we would have made with them, made our very own flint arrows, drew delightful cave paintings and then hunted animals with a bow and arrow! What superb shots we had!

For our history topic this half term, Year 3 are studying our prehistoric past, all the way from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. As part of our WOW starter, we worked hard as copralite detectives to discover what humans ate in the past, drew amazing cave paintings under our tables and created superb hand prints to help decorate our caves. How interesting it was!

For curriculum week, all of Northmoor are looking at the book 'Mother Earth is Weeping' and discussing the different things we can do to save the planet. Year 3 have been writing amazing acrostic poems all about the environment, and have also planted hundreds of seeds and bulbs to help nature around our school. We can't wait to see all the pollinators our flowers will attract!

Y3/4 Garnet and Y3 Coral have been excellent engineers this week!
