An experience taking us back to 1941 during WW2, our trip enabled children to see and learn about what life would have been like during the war.

Gas masks, bombs, trying on clothes that would have been through 'make do and mend' were just a few of the hands on experiences that children had today.

Walking through the Air Raid Shelter and seeing for ourselves what  a black out would have felt like was amazing.

In the words of Year 3, "the best trip ever".

Today in Science (Health and hygiene), we investigated the importance of washing our hands correctly. We looked at how quickly germs can spread and where germs come from. The children loved this investigation and I am sure they will tell you all about it! 

We all loved the fitness drumming workshop, it was so much fun!

Reception have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk. We planted our own beans and have been taking good care of them. We have been learning all about what plants need to grow.

We have been planting our new trees that we got from the Woodland Trust. They are very small at the moment but we will look after them and we are looking forward to watching them grow over the next few years.

We have been making some fantastic, creative pictures using the Japanese art of Hapazome (leaf bashing). We found some shiny blue Alder beetles eating the Alder leaves then we did some fishing in the mud pond. 

Year 4 worked ever so hard to ensure their water colour paintings represented Cezanne's Mont Sainte Victoire. They watched a tutorial on brush strokes and outlining before they got the chance to recreate the mountain. What an excellent display they have created. Well done Y 4. 

The girls have loved the first 2 weeks of the Disney Shooting Stars club. They were challenged last week to use junk modelling to make an animal from Lion King or to make some lion ears to wear for this week's session. Can you guess any of the animals they made? Fantastic work everyone!
