Black History Month might be celebrated in October, but for Year 6 we explore many aspects of Black history all year round.

We have, however, been investigating Bessie Coleman - the first Black female pilot, as well as watching Ncuti Gatwa as Dr Who in a rip-roaring adventure as the 15th…

We had a great time on Wednesday, building shelters and lighting fires as part of our work on settlements. It was a very wet day, but we all managed to build a shelter and even managed to get fires to light despite the shocking weather. We worked really well in our teams and laughed a lot!

Year 5 have been learning about land use in the UK and used different thematic maps to investigate how land is used in different areas. Well done, Year 5!

We searched bothe the New and Old Testaments to discover the best scripture to guide us in caring for our planet.

Year 6 were hard at work this week exploring the colourful world of camouflage!

As part of our Survival term, we looked at hiding animals in plain sight within their own unique camouflage.

Year 1 had a great morning at Judges Lodgings. We experienced a strict Victorian class, and then played with lots of old toys. It was lots of fun!

This morning, Year 4 made the pasta dishes that had been planned in DT lessons. The morning was spent in preparation, cooking and then eating the food. We had great fun and enjoyed the end results.
