The children had their first attempt at roll in the wall today. I must say, after a couple of wobbles and a little confusion, they picked it up extremely quickly and did a great job! I was impressed to see how much information each group gathered from the original posters and them remembered at the very end of the lesson. Well done.

The children took to watercolour skills yesterday! Leaning how to colour wash a background. They then cut out some buildings and bridge shapes on black card to create a silhouette and layered them on top. Overall a great job – well done guys!

We have all enjoyed a lovely trip to our local Methodist Church today. Where the children were asked to put themselves in the shoes of the children who were evacuated during WW2. They used some wonderful vocabulary to describe feelings which made me very proud! We also had a short introduction to one of our new class texts which shared the evacuation story of the main character, Lennie.

Ask them at home what they can remember about how the evacuation process worked or what they were allowed to take with them in their suitcase!

Here they are looking sad (on purpose) and working hard in some of the activities we asked them to take part it.

After a short introduction into WW2 evacuation and the usage and purpose of gas masks the children set to making their own with an ID lable too! These were then taken with us to the Church, so that experience could be a little bit more realistic for them! Great job guys!

We kicked started our day with a small but lovely activity to add to the immersion of our classroom. The children coloured wooden pegs and lolly sticks in camouflage patterns and colours to create quick and easy ww2 planes! The finished outcome looked amazing I can’t wait to get them all up in display!

If you are wondering why we all came home a little bit smokey today, that’s because we had a wonderful afternoon in our Green Top Camp with Mr Kershaw! Some team games, campfire songs and toasting marshmallows. YUMMY!
