Year 4 Roman Catapults

This week all three year four classes have been putting their design and technology skills through their paces building Roman catapult models. The children have been closely supervised measuring, sawing and gluing the different parts together in our final activity from what has been an extremely engaging history topic. There has also been opportunities to test out the firing capabilities of their long range-range weaponry using rubber missiles and plastic soldiers. Mr. Cross was pleased to hear there was no bloodshed!

Year 6 Time & Tide Museum Trip

This week, Year 6 came dressed in WWII themed outfits for their trip to the Time and Tide museum in Great Yarmouth. Their outfits were excellent! They travelled back in time to 1941 when Great Yarmouth was in the thick of the action as a ‘front line town’. They Discovered how the war affected people on the home front and met an ARP warden, a housewife, a shopkeeper and a Home Guard soldier. We were so impressed by their curiosity!

Viking Day Y5

On Monday, we enjoyed our Viking Day. Our visitors from Jormungand Reenactment gave us lots of information about the Vikings which will be useful for our topic throughout the term. We got to ask lots of questions and handle some Viking artefacts which was great fun.

We also explored Viking shields, practised drawing snakes and serpents and created our own shields incorporating our snakes into our designs.

We can’t wait to learn more!

Year 2 Geography

Year 2 have started their first Geography unit where they will be comparing Norwich to Shanghai by looking at local Norwich landmarks and constructing models of them. Each class worked on a different landmark and produced replicas of Norwich Castle, the Cathedral and Carrow Road.

Year 4 Roman Day

Year 4 had a fantastic Roman day with Centurion Titus. They completed a Roman soldier Boot Camp, created mosaics and practised using Roman numerals. We look forward to learning more about the Romans in our history topic for the rest of this term.

Year 3 Research

Year 3 have been exploring Greta Thunberg. They are looking at sustainability and the book ‘Greta and the Giants’.

Today, they showed great independence when researching their own facts about her in order to create a biography next week.

Year 6 Art

Year 6 have started the year off with an Art project linked to history learning all about WWII. Children re-designed packaging for wartime food products whilst considering the impact of rationing and the need for items to have a much longer life than the usual fresh produce. We think the end results look excellent and have been so impressed by their creativity!

Y4 Geography

As part of our continuing geography topic looking at our local area, Year 4 went on a walking tour of Queen’s Hill this afternoon to assess whether the quality of the environment improved the closer they got to the woodland area. They rated 8 different streets on their appearance, safety, cleanliness and proximity to amenities.

Year 3 Geography Visitor

Year 3 had a visitor to launch their sustainability unit this afternoon.

They enjoyed finding out what sustainability was, looking at different examples of how we can be more sustainable and they even thought about changes they can make in their own life!
