Year 6 Victorian Workshop - December 2017

Well done to Year 6 this week who have thoroughly enjoyed both of their Victorian days. On Tuesday they were lucky enough to experience a Victorian school room, led by the very intimidating Master Grey. In the afternoon they were able to explore artefacts, make toys, write postcards using ink pens and play guess the Victorian. On Wednesday we celebrated Christmas the Victorian way. We made crackers, toys, cards, wrapping paper and played many games. The children fully immersed themselves into the lives of the Victorian children by dressing up in fantastic costumes. Thank you for behaving so well and allowing yourself to learn whilst having fun. What a great end to this term, we are so proud of you.

Miss Slater, Miss Barss and Miss Power.

Great Fire of London - 19th September 2017

Today, Year 2 made 3D models of the streets around Pudding Lane using cardboard boxes and card. We then placed all our models in the playground and watched as Mrs Whiley started the fire in Thomas Farynor's Bakery to re-create the Great Fire of London which started 2nd September 1666. Our fire spread quickly to the other houses, just as how it happened in 1666. It was a great learning experience enjoyed by all of Year 2. Mrs Lewis, Miss Laurance and Miss Adams.

2LE had a visit from the London Fire Brigade. The children had a great time exploring the Fire engine and looking at what the fire brigade need to wear when they are putting fires out. They also were lucky enough to use the hose and see how far they could spray the water.

Today in the afternoon we spent our time creating Facebook profiles. Not just any Facebook profile, but for the six different wives of Henry VIII. Yesterday we spent our time in ICT researching the six different wives and coming up with good information that we could add to our profiles, that could be written in chronological order! Next class, we will have a gallery walk so that we all learn about each wife and how they were apart of Henry VII life!' - Miss Klomp

5T - Team Building - 17th October 2016

Today in class I decided to use our PE slot to do some team building activities. I split my class in to two groups; one of twelve and one of thirteen. I gave each team a box that contained an unmade SAMBA goal. They were given no instructions other than to make what was in the box. They had to use their team skills and listening skills to build the goals.  Unfortunately, due to inclement weather we had to finish our activity short! The photos show the progress that was made thus far - super effort 5T.
