Today year 4 were excited to have a visit from polar explorer Adrian Hall. He spoke to us about his expeditions, showed us all the equipment he packed in his rucksack and shared lots of photos at the start of the day. After this, he worked outside with every class, teaching them about map reading and compass skills before they completed a treasure hunt around the school grounds. We had a great day and now feel we know a lot more about the life of an arctic explorer.
Our pupils had an amazing time at Bookbugs and Dragontales Bookshop this week! They had the opportunity to choose new books for our school libraries and even meet the author and illustrator, Ben Rothery, who was working on a window display at the shop.
We can’t wait to see the books we selected in the Book Nook at school!
Year 3 had a fantastic day at Norwich Castle. They were able to consolidate and further their Ancient Egyptian knowledge. They enjoyed exploring artefacts, seeing a mummy and creating their own Egyptian jewellery.
The children were safe, ready and respectful and asked some super questions. Well done Year 3!
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!
This week Children from school council were given the opportunity to taste a variety of food items and give their opinions on them. This was to help Nikki and the kitchen team think about developing the lunch menu going forward.
Year 3 enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral today.
We were so proud of how ready, safe and respectful they were.
They learnt all about what advent is and journeyed through the nativity.
Years 2, 3, 4 and 5 enjoyed a musical performance assembly from Norwich School today.
They were able to hear different instruments and think about how it made them feel.
Thank you to Norwich School for providing our pupils with this opportunity.
Our Year 6 pupils led a wonderful Remembrance assembly today featuring songs, artwork and poetry. We were joined by Mr Fraser and Mr Honour, who also shared insights about their medals from military service.
Year 1 really enjoyed their trip to Stranger’s Hall. They played with toys, sorted toys and even made their own toy!
Each year, the Year 3 cohort are fortunate to be presented with dictionaries from the Rotary Club.
Today, the children were presented with theirs and had time to explore them in class with their friends.
We can’t wait to see how they will be used to support their learning both in school and at home- thank you!
