  • Y3 Anglo-Saxon WOW Day

    Published 29/01/25

    What an amazing day we had during our Year 3 Anglo-Saxon WOW Day! The children fully embraced the theme and had a fantastic time exploring the Anglo-Saxon world.

    We started by making peasant bread, where the children enjoyed mixing ingredients and kneading dough. The smell was incredible! Then, we built a fire outside, learnt about fire safety, and roasted bread over the flames – a real treat with that smoky flavour.

    The day also featured weaving, where the children created their own baskets, and clay pot making inspired by Anglo-Saxon art. They wrapped up by exploring runes and even tried writing their names in this ancient script.

    Overall, it was a fun-filled day of hands-on learning, creativity, and history!

    Year 2 had an amazing day when they went on their school trip to The Tower of London. The children enjoyed taking part in a workshop all about The Great Fire of London. They were amazed at the sight of the precious crown jewels and they loved seeing the ravens, especially the one called Polly who was sitting on the wall squawking very loudly to greet us when we arrived!

  • Dinosaurs!

    Published 23/01/25

    Reception have had a fun filled week exploring our dinosaur topic! They began the topic by being fully immersed in ‘Dino Land’ through ‘Now Press play.’ They then continued by receiving several videos from Professor Memo. They were very helpful with making a disguise, creating shelters for Professor Memo and writing letters to the Royal dinosaur club to help Professor Memo to be part of the club. Reception were surprised when Professor Memo came to visit them at Lansdowne! They helped him to dig for fossils and created a dance and song. By the end of the day, Reception were proud members of the Royal dinosaur club!

    Our Year 5 and 6 class champions have been busy this term exploring behaviour and learning across the school. After completing several learning walks, they were excited to share their findings with parents!

     “One of our biggest successes was seeing over 24 children in the star zone, many of whom were in KS1!”

    – Luna and Marley

    “Most children were fully engaged in their learning, and the Year 6 presentation was exceptional!”

    – Poppy

    Neriah and George, who visited EYFS, were impressed by the children’s attentiveness and the supportive atmosphere during play-based learning.

    Next up, they’ll be focusing on behaviour and learning during lunchtimes – stay tuned for their findings!
