Today, Year 5 were delighted to welcome a Roman historian- Professor McGinty’s. The children learnt about Roman clothing, culture, architecture, daily life, and even unusual foods. During the visit the children handled real artefacts from Roman times, which really brought history to life.

Year 2 took part in a Pirates Inspiration Day for their new topic ‘Land Ahoy’, and English book ‘The Pirates Next door’. Pupils came into school dressed as pirates or in pirate colours and took part in lots of activities during the day; such as making pirate hats and learning to draw pictures of pirates. Pupils also took part in a Pirate Dance in the afternoon, in which they learn to sing a shanty, learnt a pirate dance and came up with their own using common pirate actions.

We are incredibly proud of all the children who took part in this year’s Key Stage 1 Christmas production, Barmy Bethlehem. Every pupil sang and performed beautifully, filling the hall with festive cheer and getting us all into the Christmas spirit.

The show was full of festive fun, music and laughter, and our pupils were absolutely captivated from start to finish. “It was the best!” said Gurshaan from Reception — and we couldn’t agree more!

The children designed their own ballroom outfit, drew themselves in there special party wear, learnt all about castles and made their own castles using different building materials. We even learnt how to ballroom dance and enjoyed a royal banquet.

During the visit, the children met costumed Victorian characters, visited the old-fashioned bank, bakery, post office, sweet shop and chemist, and discovered how people lived and worked over 100 years ago.
