Year 1 went to Blists Hill Victorian town to continue their learning about the Victorians this term. We had the best day! Here is what we did:

1. A delivery workshop where we had to deliver letters all across the Victorian town. We visited Farriner's bakery and had home made flapjacks and learnt all about different equipment used to measure and weigh.

2. Read traditional tales in each of the places we delivered post to!

3. Learnt how to candle dip and made our own colourful rainbow candles.

4. Had a lesson in a Victorian school room by a Victorian teacher (she wasn't too scary!)

We also had a taste of some Victorian chips and met some interesting characters like the police man and the horses.

Well done year 1

Year 2 and 3 worked so hard on their books for the 'Bookfest' competition last term. Ally came to visit us for a very special assembly to announce the winners from each class. She was so impressed with everyone's writing, illustrations and all the extra detail we had added to our books, including bookmarks, recommendations, puzzles and fact pages. Huge congratulations to Henry V and the child chosen in Year 3 who won the competition for our school. Ally also couldn't help but give out some extra prizes for 'highly recommended' books. We are very proud of everyone for working so hard to become authors of their very own books.

Year 1 have been making magic wands in Forest School this week to go with our traditional tales topic in class. They were amazing - luckily they didn't turn the grown ups into frogs!

In Y5 we have been using primary and secondary historical sources to learn about daily life in Ancient Greece.

Year 1 are learning about the artist James Rizzi and making colourful street art work using bold primary and secondary colours. We have made a collaborative puzzle based on his style!
