Class 7 Space Dome!
What an out of this world experience we had travelling through the universe and more closely to home in our solar system!
Quick stop off on our bus tour!
Class 8 story maps
Class 8 have created their own story maps ready for when they are writing their stories based on the Man on the Moon. Here is a great example of beautiful work!
Buckingham Palace!
London – lunch eaten at St James Park
Year 6 have arrived in London!
We’ve made it in great time to London and are on our way to Buckingham Palace!
Class 8’s planetarium visit
The children absolutely loved our visitor this morning. We saw wondrous videos about space, the planets, stars and the milky way.
The children had so much knowledge and really enjoyed this fantastic experience!
Why not ask them what they learnt this morning about space?
Year 5 and 6 History Club Remember
We always have lots of fun in our History club…one of the best things about it is that the children choose the topic every week…not necessarily themes that are normally covered in our curriculum, but subjects in which they are especially interested. However, one of the most popular talking points is World War 2 and the events that were part of it. We spent the first part of club tonight discussing the emotions felt after the announcement of the end of the conflict. We proudly gave the iconic ‘V for Victory’ sign in front of our corridor display tonight. A sign made famous by the then Prime Minister, Winston Churchill as he appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margret to commemorate the end of the fighting in Europe.
Celebrating VE Day 80
As well as having the honour to take part in the VE Day 80th anniversary service in Thorne Park last week, we were also graced with a visit from Mr and Mrs Miller of the Royal British Legion this Monday, who came to admire our wonderful corridor display. We had tried to convey the joy of that day so long ago by recreating a street party, and we tried to think about the emotions felt by the British people as they celebrated the end of the conflict in Europe.
Historic, jubilant, commemorative, celebratory, moving, triumphant, and hopeful…all of these feelings and more.
Thankfully, our children’s generation have never had the reason to feel these emotions for this reason…and hopefully learning about them will ensure that they will never have to…
But to everyone who lived through these life changing times….We thank you for your service x
