Year 6 - Trip to the RAF Museum
Our Year 6 class has completely immersed itself into WWII Britain, and this week, our students went to the RAF (Royal Air Force) Museum! Not only did they explore various aircrafts that were used during the war, but our Year 6 class also attended a workshop in which they got to pretend they were in a 1940s school lesson which included writing with dipped ink and sitting at old-fashioned desks. The authenticity continued when our Year 6 students also experienced an air-raid!
Year 3 - Making Stone Age Shelters
Travelling back into time seems to be a bit of a recurring theme this week, and our Year 3 class also enjoyed taking a step into the past as they recreated stone age shelters! 2.6 million years ago, the Stone Age began, and people at that time used a variety of naturally-occurring resources such as stones, bones, mud and shells, to build their homes, a far-cry from our bricked houses with central heating and running water, that's for sure! Fast-forward 2.6 million years, and our Year 3 students are building shelters of their own, using cardboard boxes, tubes, paper and more!
Year 2 - Making Biscuits!
Now for a bit of a tasty update, our Year 2 students got cracking in the kitchen as they honed their culinary skills! For children, cooking is a great way to refine their Maths concepts and build skills such as following instructions, teamwork and confidence! This week our Year 2 students iced and decorated biscuits and we think that their finished products look absolutely mouth-watering!
Year 1 - Circuits!
With the help of some Year 6 pupils, our Year 1 students explored all the different mechanisms of putting together a working circuit!
