Year 3 Trip to Macclesfield Silk Museum

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the venue of our school trip has changed. We will be going to the Silk Museum in Macclesfield on Tuesday 3^rd March to do an Ancient Egyptian Workshop.

Here is a link to the website where it gives more detail on the plan for the day.

The trip will be a whole day event, 10am – 2pm at the museum; we will travel to and from by coach. Our goal is to start the visit around 10 with an introduction all together before separating into 3 groups. The groups will rotate to cover each of the 3 sessions during the day.  The first session runs from about 10:15 – 11:15, the second session from 11:15 – 12:15.  We will then all have lunch together for 45 minutes.  The final session of the day runs from 1:00 – 2:00.

Payment will be through parent pay where you will also see an option to choose a packed lunch should your child wish.

As the Silk Museum is an older building, it can be a little on the cold side so please ensure children have a warm coat with them. Hat and gloves can also be taken if you wish.

Our school top and sweatshirt/cardigan must be worn, however, children may decide to wear joggers/leggings and trainers if they wish.

Stone Age Workshop

As part of our topic on The Prehistoric World, Year 3 will be taking part in a whole day workshop on Tuesday 14th October. This will take place at school and will include the following core content;

• Cave Art

• Mighty Megafauna

• The Evolution of Man

• Megaliths  & Stonehenge

• Life for Prehistoric Humans

• Paleolithic, Mesolithic & Neolithic

• Handling Ancient Fossils & Artefacts

We are very excited about the day; it will really bring our topic to life and enhance the children’s learning as well as being lots of fun. Children should wear their normal uniform on the day.
