Year 1 Explorers Day
Year 1 went on an adventure! They have been learning about different explorers through history and have written their own adventure story.
To end our topic, we dressed up as an explorer and took part in different challenges around school. They have made binoculars, a map, took part in a treasure hunt and tested our their exploring skills in forest school. They have had a brilliant time bringing together all that they have learned throughout our history topic!
Thank you to the parents for you support in helping to make Tuesday a success.
Y2 Great Fire Of London Day
Year 2 had a fantastic Great Fire of London day on Thursday! Our special visitor, Sir William Petty, told us all about the Great Fire. We looked at an old map of London, took part in an experiment to see how the fire spread and successfully managed to work together as a class to put the fire out! Miss Roach and Miss Fowler were so impressed as all the children showed enthusiasm and wonder for their learning!
Y3 Stone Age Forest School Afternoon
In Year 3, we have been learning all about the Stone Age in our history unit this half term and have been very lucky to take this opportunity to take part in Stone Age activities in our forest school. We cooked berries on a firepit, made weapons and tools using stones and sticks, we painted with berries and leaves and left handprints on cave walls. We also had a cave/hut that we were able to role play Stone Age living, we built secure dens to hide in from predators and even hunted prehistoric animals that we found amongst the trees! Happy memories were made in our first half term in Year 3!
'Now Press Play' - Y5
This week, year 5 continued to learn about the historic Anglo-Saxon lifestyle using our immersive 'Now Press Play' headphones.
Year 4 Theatre Workshop
Year 4 children took part in a workshop delivered by a team from Leeds Heritage Theatres where we learned all about the theatre in Ancient Greece. Not only did we learn all about the terminology around the stage but we also had a chance to take part as actors. From pulling faces inspired by the Greek character masks to acting out Greek tragedies and comedies, everyone had a lot of fun and learned a lot about performance.
The Great Fire of London
Year two had a visit yesterday from Sir William Petty. We had a great time listening to his stories of the Great Fire of London and getting involved in activities to learn more about September 1666.
Ancient Greek Vases
Year 6 have created fantastic Ancient Greek style vases. So much hard work has gone into moulding, shaping and painting - we are so impressed with their final pieces!
Jorvik and Dig trip for Year 5
Year 5 had a fantastic day in York. We visited Jorvik and Dig where the children had a 'Battle Tactics' workshop and had the chance to be archaeologists!
Maya Day
Year 6 had a fantastic Maya Day! We were visited by the Maya warrior ‘Big Nose’ who taught us all about the ancient Maya civilisation.
Year 4 trip to the Bagshaw Museum
Year 4 had a great day out at the Bagshaw Museum learning all about Ancient Egypt! They had the chance to exploring an ancient Egyptian tomb and marvel at the very rare complete cartonnage mask, the face of an Egyptian woman presented to the gods in the afterlife. They learnt about the process to preserve the body after death and admire the jewellery, cosmetics and mirrors, as well as learning what ancient Egyptians ate, the textiles they wove, and how they recorded their lives.
