Time and Tide Museum Trip
Year 6 had a fantastic trip out to Great Yarmouth to visit the Time and Tide Museum. We travelled back to 1941 when Great Yarmouth was in the thick of the action as a ‘front line town’. Year 6 discovered how the war affected people on the home front and met an ARP warden, housewife, shopkeeper and Home Guard soldier. We explored how to stay safe in an air raid and took cover in a Morrison shelter. Children in the year group tried on gas masks, counted rations in the wartime shop and learned how to ‘make-do and mend’.
At school, the children finished off their Second World War unit by creating a double page spread on all of the information that they have learnt. A brilliant term of learning, completed with some excellent presentation!
Year 5 cam toys
Year 5 created some fantastic cam toys this half term.
They had to design, measure, saw, glue and evaluate their creations.
We are proud of their creativity and grit and determination.
Year 4 – Science – Digestive System
Last week, Year 4 pupils took part in an engaging science lesson that brought the digestive system to life. Through a hands-on, guided activity using everyday materials, the children explored the journey of food through the human body, from mouth to bowel. This interactive experience deepened their understanding of digestion and proved to be a highly memorable and enjoyable lesson for all involved.
