On Monday, Year 4 were visited by a Viking! They took part in battles, re-enacted burials, sending Vikings to Valhalla, and got hands-on with artefacts from the time of the Vikings.
Yesterday, Year 3 had a lovely time at Fishbourne Roman Palace. They saw mosaics, looked at artefacts, had a go at some Roman games and even dressed up as Romans!
On Friday, Year 6 were very excited about meeting Chris Lubbe after learning everything there is to know about Nelson Mandela. Chris had some incredible stories of his experience of growing up through the apartheid, and some inspirational messages handed down from Nelson himself.
On Friday, Geckos had a lovely day at the Sustainability Centre learning about the Anglo Saxons. They looked at artefacts, played some Anglo Saxon themed games, designed an Anglo Saxon pattern on clay and tried weaving with willow.
On Thursday, Koalas had a lovely day at the Sustainability Centre learning about the Anglo Saxons. They looked at artefacts, played some Anglo Saxon themed games, designed an Anglo Saxon pattern on clay and tried weaving with willow.
Year 6 have been working on Diary entries re-telling the magical real life story of The Christmas Truce that took place in 1914. Please enjoy these little bits of Christmas by Amber and Adaroa!
Yesterday, Simon Murray, author and illustrator of Icky Doo Dah, visited Year 1 and 2. He told us a bit about himself before doing some drawing. The children also had a go at doing their own illustrations using his artwork as inspiration. #illustration#simonmurray@ickydoodah
Today we welcomed Aaron Phipps to our school. He spoke to the children about how important it is to have goals and to learn resilience. We enjoyed listening to his stories about overcoming barriers and taking every opportunity. He even showed us his Paralympic Gold Medal!
