Year 5 have started their journey back in time to learn about the Victorians!  We have learnt that the Victorian period began in 1837, when Victoria became Queen, until her death in 1901, when her son, Edward, became the new monarch!  We compared this to the recent coronation of our own new monarch, King Charles II who became King after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth lI, last year. Of course, we found out about many other dates and inventions during the Victorian period which we will explore in more detail during our topic.  Mrs Blomeley 

Awards this week were given for making a great start to writing a diary from a Victorian Workhouse child's point of view and for being a lovely friend with a positive attitude towards school!  Good to be Green awards were given for following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Well done everyone - another great week in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

I present our House Captains for 2023-2024! 

The children were fantastic in their first ever penny whistle lesson with Mrs O'Leary. They learnt how to play the notes A B G, sang Roman songs and analysed a Frank Sinatra song. A great session. 

Today the class worked in groups to invent a game together. The children had to take turns to listen to each other share ideas, demonstrating the value of Respect. 

Another brilliant week in Year 4. Well done to all our award winners. 

Well done to the children who have received this weeks Head-Teacher and Good to be Green awards, keep up the fabulous work! Well done to the whole of Year 2 for their excellent efforts in PE and getting this weeks PE award / trophy!
