Mon 10 Jan 2022What a way to start the new term! In preparation for our whole school trip to the theatre, we learnt about playscripts and how they are used, acted out parts from a Robin Hood play, explored different theatres from around the world and learnt about the history of pantomime and what to expect at the theatre. We also completed a maths investigation where we planned a trip to the pantomime and worked out how much it would cost just to send Year 6! It was quite an eye-opener. All this was followed by the amazing Robin Hood pantomime at the Theatre Royal. It was a brilliant show and we all loved it.

We found out about different types of theatres and have learned about the stories of Robin Hood and his Merry men as well as discovering more about Sherwood Forest. The pantomime was a fantastic experience and enjoyed immensely. This it has been followed up with a music session based on these themes. Additionally, we learned about how Spanish people celebrate Christmas and the importance of the 5th and 6th January with Senora Creese, where all the information was written in Spanish and we had to decode it! A busy first three days back!

Fri 17 Dec 2021We have had a really busy week in Year 5. In RE, we have been thinking about peace and why Christmas is a time of peace. We thought about what our ideal world would be like and what our ideal Christmas day is like. On Tuesday, we enjoyed a visit from two local police officers, who told us about their job and we were able to explore the police van and try on pieces of the uniform. Some of the children were put in handcuffs and Mia scared us all when she turned on the siren! We hope you enjoyed our Christmas sing-a-long. The children sang beautifully and we are really proud of them.
We all hope you have a lovely Christmas. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Fri 10 Dec 2021Year 3 had a fabulous day at the Christmas Fayre. All of them seemed to buy a knitted toy and most had their faces painted. They loved having their own money to spend on what they liked. I was really proud of the way they conducted themselves in the afternoon.
