Children gathering to show their respect at 11am We will remember them...

Whilst we aren’t able to hold full school events inside due to COVID, we were thankfully still able to go outside to recognise Remembrance Day.

We heard the Last Post and stood in silence for two minutes to show our respect.

Year 5 visit to Eden Camp

17th June 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Last week as part of Year 5’s History topic on WW2, they visited Eden Camp in North Yorkshire.

The museum was once a prisoner of war camp and has since been converted to help educate people on the events that took place during WW2.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip and it allowed them the opportunity to consolidate their learning and experience what life was really like during this important time in British history.

Remembrance Day

15th November 2019R Smith

We marked Remembrance Day in school with a special assembly led by Year 5.  The children from Year 5 told the whole school about the importance of Remembrance.

We watched the Cbeebies short film Poppies

We all listened to the sombre music of The Last Post before beginning our two minutes silence.

We ended our assembly with the laying of a wreath by one member of each class.

Creating a Saxon Settlement

15th November 2019R Smith

After lots of planning, today year 5 (Mr Cairns’ class) started the first stage of their DT project of a Saxon settlement. The children working in pairs to create their own Saxon house. The houses will be placed on a board that the children have designed, to create the full village complete with bonfires, foliage and even animals. What a great start!
