The Foxes entertained a huge audience this week with their amazing class assembly. They shared facts about dinosaurs, writing, music and art work. Mr Lennon would have been very proud of their recorder performance, it was very special. Thank you to our #incrediblecommunity for all your support and well done to all The Year 2 Foxes.
The Year 1 Butterflies had a fantastic day at Bolsover Castle! We couldn’t have asked for better weather as we explored the castle and its walls. We can’t wait to write all about our trip when we are back to school!
The Foxes had an amazing day at The Tropical Butterfly House visiting the prehistoric dinosaurs. We explored the dino trial, watched a bird show, held some mini-beasts and saw lots of interesting animals. A great day all round!
The Bees have been very busy this week exploring the beautiful Bolsover Castle. They had an amazing day out exploring a real castle whilst searching and identifying all the features we have been learning about in our Topic ‘Knights and Castles’ this term.
The Foxes have been exploring key vocabulary linked to their topic – Dinosaurs! They used dictionaries, non-fiction books and online dictionaries. We are excited to use some of our new words in our writing!
What a fantastic presentation and performance of work! The audience were most impressed by all our learning about coal mining. We shared our work about home life and mining in the Victorian period, the different jobs children did in the mines in the 1800s and how disasters such as The Huskar Pit flood led to the Children’s Act. The children’s dancing, acting and singing really brought our topic to life!
The Jaguars have been learning about the life and achievements of Matthew Henson. They have been able to research information about a key historical figure while being discerning about online content. We will be using this information to write a biography next week.
The Jaguars have started their new topic ‘Icy World’. In a topic lesson, the children searched the classroom for facts about The Arctic and The Antarctic and compared the two places. We enjoyed recording the similarities and differences.
The Hedgehogs were lucky to have a special visitor, our Governor Mr White, who talked to the children about his experiences as a miner. We learned a lot about what it was like and enjoyed handling the coal. This was an also excellent opportunity for us to ask questions to help with our study of ‘an aspect of history that is significant in our locality’.
Year 6 completed a historical study, linked to the local community, researching people from Cudworth who had been involved in global conflicts. Our silhouetted soldiers will be on display in Cudworth to mark Remembrance Day.
What a fantastic opportunity for our historians to experience life in Roman times! Our visitors were brilliant- thank you Roman Tours of Chester.
The Hedgehogs have made a super start on this term’s topic – Our Mining Community. We have used images and objects to begin exploring what life was like for Victorian mining families.
Here’s our first display of the school year which showcases the ‘strangely tasty’ menus from Roman banquets. We are delighted with the quality of our artwork but we’re not keen to sample flamingo with dates or stuffed dormice!
