World Book Day - Thursday 5th March

We had a super day celebrating World Book Day! We looked at the book 'The Bridges' by Tom Percival. From this we chose lots of different activities relating to the book and our own books from home. We all came together and created lots of bridges that were interconnecting. We then looked at our own books from home and placed ourselves on a bridge, asking ourselves are any of our books related? The children also enjoyed sharing their book from home with a friend. In PE we did lots of team building games related to bridges and working together. We have been very fortunate to have 4 different adults read a story to the children today - Mrs Underwood, Mrs Wallace and two of our governors in the VSF Frances Gale and Giles Fern.

The Great Fire of London

The children in KS1 have loved our history topic for Spring Term 1 - The Great Fire of London. We have been looking in our history lessons about why the fire spread so easily and quickly. The children have learnt that the buildings were wooden and a technique called Wattle and Daub was used to build walls.  The children then practiced this skill in forest school and we had some fantastic wattle and daub walls on the school field.

In conclusion to our topic the children enjoyed a Great fire of London Day.
We had a great morning experiencing the different jobs that there were around during the time of the Great Fire of London - we have been bakers, rat catchers., maids, chimney sweeps, musicians and apothecarists. We made bread, scent bags, baker's hats, boats and even St Paul's Cathedral. In Forest School they were taught all about apothecary by our forest School lead and the types of plants they would have used in 1666!

Linking back to our topic, we were very lucky to have BFRS Newport Pagnell Fire Station join us on 2nd March to teach us all about how to keep safe in our homes if there was a fire and also show us around their fire engine and climb into the cab.
The children were interested to know what everything was on the engine and what job it did. They soon realised the differences between modern day fire fighters and what it was like to be a fire fighter in 1666. Thank you to BFRS Newport Pagnell Fire Station for giving up your time and answering the many questions from the children.

Our KS1 children are looking forward to visiting St Paul's Cathedral in London in Spring Term 2.
