Year 6 London Thames River Cruise
Our Year 6 children enjoyed seeing some of the famous sights of London from the River Thames. They also learnt about the history of the buildings from our tour guide. Can you spot any you know?
Buckingham Palace & St Jame’s Park
We’ve just had a singalong of the National Anthem in front of Buckingham Palace! We’ve learnt so much from our guide Liz.
Natural History Museum
We had a quick whistle stop tour of the natural history museum and some children spent some of their money in the gift shop. We managed to see Dippy the dinosaur too.
Reception Car Wash
The cars in our reception yard needed a wash, so some of the year 6 children led a car wash activity this morning! They used the cloths and brushes to scrub the cars nice and clean. Thank you to those Year 6 children who helped!
London Sightseeing Tour
We have seen lots of sights around London and have been learning all about the History of London from our tour guide Liz.
Year 2 English: Making predictions!
In year 2, our topic this term is 'Beside the Seaside'. This week in English, we started a brand new unit. The class were given the book cover for the story that we will be exploring over the next couple of weeks. The children then made their own Title predictions, based on evidence from the front cover. The class are so excited to find out the Title of the story and explore the main character!
Year 2 D.T: Wacky Windmills!
During the summer term in D.T, Year 2 have been learning all about the purpose uses of windmills. We completed some market research to look at the different types of windmills and the materials that are used to make them. We then spent some time designing our own windmills and thinking about the materials that we could use the make them. This week, the class brought their designs to life and made their own windmill's using classroom materials and their own designs. We then evaluated our windmill's and thought about what we might do differently next time, to ensure our bases are strong and sturdy.
Food, glorious food!
Year 6 have shared some lovely meal times together in London in parks, restaurants and the hotel. It’s been wonderful to see them developing their independence and conversational skills before moving on to high school. And of course we’ve had several renditions of ‘Food, glorious food’ from our upcoming Oliver production!
Reception: Stay and Play
Thank you to all of our parents and carers who attended our stay and play session. It was great to see you all completing challenges with your children. What a super morning!
Year 4 - Smart School Council
This fortnight’s Smart School Council question focussed on which subjects we could make more exciting. Year 4 submitted their votes and decided on science. They also suggested ways to improve school, which all centred on break time activities/equipment.
Year 6 watch Matilda in the West End
Year 6 enjoyed a lovely meal together in Covent Garden and watched some of the street entertainers. They then watched Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge Theatre in the West End. We had the first four front rows so were so close to the stage. The children’s faces were priceless as they were so mesmerised by the production and in particular the child actors and actresses. We hope it’s given them some ideas and confidence for their Oliver production.
