Year 3 at Willen Lake

The children had a fantastic walk around Willen Lake looking at the wildlife and the flowers.  The children were very sad they couldn't sing for the Willen residential home, but we were able to wave to the home as we walked past, which we hope brought a smile to one or two of the residents!

Please see below pictures taken of our walk.

History Day 2019

The children may feel a bit exhausted tonight! They have been busy travelling through time for the whole day, wearing their spectacular outfits. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put in. The children have impressed us all by explaining who their character is and why they are famous.

They have been ‘Mosaics Makers’ in Reception, ‘Digging for Victory’ poster designers in Year1, ‘Coat of arms’ creators in Year 2, ‘Swinging Sixties’ party organisers in Year 3, ‘Vicious Viking’ longboat investigators in Year 4 and there has been ‘Beatlemania’ in Year 5!  Each class has also experienced history through drama, during their session with our history visitor Helen. They have had the opportunity to ask historical questions and research The Victorians, Kings and Queens and The Sixties.

We hope they have had a wonderful learning experience and have become lifelong historians.
