Read MoreScience Museum 13/03/25
Published 13/03/25On Wednesday the 13th of March, Lime and Beech Classes boarded the coach as we embarked on our exciting journey down into central London to visit the famous Science Museum.
Our first event of the day was a workshop entitled 'The Wonder Show' where we were treated to three live Science experiments which involved a few people from the audience getting involved.
Next, we ventured down to the museum's space exhibit which contained some truly breathtaking displays. We saw real space rockets, plenty of informative and interactive exhibits and even a floating ball that was on a constant loop of change between all the planets in our solar system.
After lunch came the event the children were particularly excited about... the Wonderlab. Seemingly endless activities for the children to take part in based around various scientific topics including Forces, Sound and Electricity.
There were lots of tired sleepy faces on the coach journey home but plenty of smiles and shared positive experiences.

Today, our hall was turned into a makeshift gurdwara where we took part in all the common practises that you would normally expect to see in a gurdwara. The children even got a chance to sample some yummy food that had been prepared for this event.
Read MoreYear 4's Legend Stories.
Published 09/10/24In Year 4, we have been reading a book called 'The Mermaid of Zennor' by Charles Causley. The story tells of a legend of a mermaid that began appearing in the sleepy seaside town of Zennor in Cornwall. Eventually, the character disappears and is not seen again until years later.
Year 4 were inspired to use this story as a basis for putting together their own legend stories. We began by designing a lead character that would be the centre point for our stories. After this, we composed an introduction before moving on to the various paragraphs and chapters that would become our finished stories. The children's focus points included the use of adverbials to expand their writing as well as exploring new and exciting vocabulary to add mystery and intrigue to their work.
The finished pieces of work were wonderful to read and the children were very proud, as they should be!
