World Book Day
We celebrated World Book Day and all the children looked fantastic dressed up as their favourite characters or in their pyjamas.
Times Table Rock Star Day
We took part in ‘England Rocks’ as a school and all looked fantastic dressed up as rock stars! Everyone enjoyed playing alongside friends in the arena of TTRS and challenging teachers.
Lincolnshire Day
This year we had a Geography focus on Lincolnshire Day where we applied our compass knowledge to read maps. We then compared the locations of different towns in Lincolnshire. In honour of the colours of the flag, we wore blue, red, yellow and green.
Wild Woodcraft Trip
Our trip to Wild Woodcraft was amazing! The children took part in a fire lighting workshop, handled primitive tools, watched hot rocks boiling and got stuck in when creating shelters out of sticks. We played ‘eagle eye’ and many children tried fish cooked the Stone Age way. A few children even volunteered themselves to take the guts out of the fish!
Here are some photos of our fantastic day.
Science
Here are some photographs of the experiments we have done so far this year. These link with our topics on light, forces, rocks and soils, animals including humans and plants.
History
During our Stone Age to Iron Age homes topic, the children created their own Bronze Age settlements.
