2018-19

Year 3 explored the text On the Origin of the Species. We explored how animals were suited to different habitats and how they are similar and different. We then created our own animals and gave them features to match different environments.

Year 4 had a wonderful time at Horstead Centre. We took part in a variety of activities and team building sessions. Here are some of our memories.

Year 1 have been really enjoying their forest school sessions. We’ve learnt how to start a fire without using matches (and that this can only be done in Forest School!). We set fire to some buildings that we made out of cardboard, to see how quickly fire spreads and also how a brick building wouldn’t burn so quickly. We’ve also been doing our own puppet shows, playin in the hammocks, digging and bird watching. Here are a few photos for you to see.

Year 1 had a fabulous time at Strangers’ Hall, participating in a variety of activities relating to the Great Fire of London. The children were able to handle artifacts and find out what they were used for. They took part in a brilliant drama activity reenacting how the fire spread from house to house and how it was eventually stopped. They were also able to spend time looking around Strangers’ Hall and pointing out fire risks in each room.

Year 3 and 4 had a wonderful time exploring The Night Box during our reading cafe on Tuesday 5th February. We created our own paintings of the night sky before exploring the personification, metaphors and similes used in the text. We then used these ideas to help us write our own to describe our own paintings. Here are some pictures of the fun we had.
