Year 5 - History Big Bang!
Year 5 had an exciting visit from two local police officers! We asked them all our questions. We even got to go in a police car and try on some of their uniforms!
We've started learning about how crime and punishment has changed over time (including the Anglo-Saxons, the Tudors and the Victorians), and this was the perfect way to start by thinking about crime and punishment today.
Are we a school that is kind and caring?
Miss Merritt recently commented on the huge amount of kindness she saw in our school. This is great - but is she correct? The School Council spent Friday lunchtime checking different areas and noting what they saw. And, it was amazing!
We saw:
Children playing cheerfully, working together as a team, being imaginative and using the equipment appropriately and safely. Play was inclusive and mostly quiet. Kind words were used and sharing was everywhere. There were areas of calm and the Buddy Bench was available and in action as children made sure no one felt excluded.
Year 1 - Visit From an Older Person
How has shopping changed in our local area?
Following on from our successful trip to our local shops, Year 1 were lucky and surprised to receive a visit from an older person… Mrs Jones!
She came to visit us as she heard we were learning about how shops and shopping have changed over the years. Mrs Jones told us lots of interesting facts about her experiences of shopping when she was a little girl! We were shocked to hear there were no supermarkets and that shops did not sell many products. Even more surprising, in the past they used paper money and had no cards! She told us she saved her pennies to spend on a quarter of a pound of sweets once a month which were wrapped tightly in a paper bag. Her family used wicker baskets to carry their shopping home because plastic bags were not used until the 1960's!

Year 1 - Walk to Arbury Court
How has shopping changed in our local area?
Year 1 were introduced to our History theme with a stroll to our local shops where they were very excited to learn more about what shopping looks like today in our local area. They played 'shop detectives', spotting shop signs, pointing out window displays, locating signs to show methods of payment and even asked the shop assistants questions to find out more information such as 'do you deliver?' A big thank you to Budgens who were very helpful and accommodating!
