  • Trip to Hampton Court Palace

    Published 17/03/23

    On Friday 10th March, the Year 5 children had a fabulous day at Hampton Court Palace. They started the day by exploring the home of Henry VIII, in particular his kitchens. They soon discovered one of the worst jobs in the kitchen was being the “spit-boy”. The children learnt that this job involved continuously rotating a spit with meat on it, to ensure it was evenly cooked through. They empathised with what it would have been like and how it might compare to life nowadays.

  • Who we are and what we do!

    Published 03/02/23

    Over the last couple of weeks, Year 3 to 6 were visited by Metropolitan Police Officers and educated about the Police and what they do to keep the public safe, personal safety and internet safety.

    The children had an insight into the different roles within the Metropolitan Police, as well as the different types of cars they drive. As well as gaining further knowledge of how to be safe within the wider community. The children had very interesting questions and one that made the Police Officers laugh was ‘Do all Police Officers eat doughnuts?’

    Overall, it was a fun and educational experience for all. Thank you to the Metropolitan Police for keeping us safe!

They have also improved their numeric skills by focusing on identifying quantities and being able to sort amounts into greater and less than categories.
