Year 6 Trip to The Lincolnsfield Centre
Fri 13 Dec 2019The year 6 children had a fantastic trip to The Lincolnsfield Centre on Thursday, where they participated in a 1940s experience. This included pumping water to put out (imaginary) fires; using an Anderson Shelter after the air raid siren had sounded and learning to form a human chain to pass water to keep buckets filled. They also experienced a 1940s classroom (evacuee style). They used a communal street air raid shelter, before visiting the museum. Finally, they got to see a recreation of a 1940s (middle class) house, where they had a chance to play with lots of 1940s toys and dress up in 1940s clothing. -

Forthnightly maths challenge
Fri 06 Dec 2019Starting this week we are introducing a Marvellous Maths challenge for the children to do at home. Please encourage your child to try it. We want to promote a love of maths inside and out of school. This fortnight's challenge is 'Maths of Me'. A bigger challenge would be for the children to design their own, include all the family and make comparisons e.g. finding the difference between the height of different members of the family. This challenge is due in on Thursday 19th December. I would like to display excellent examples in school and there with be a prize for the best effort. Good luck! Miss Mason
You can find the forthnightly maths challenge information in "Our Children" section of the school website.
