Swallow Class
Our Year 6 camp weekend was brilliant - we all had such fun and some of us even managed to get some sleep too!
We were really inspired by our visit from the Young Shakespeare Company and enjoyed our drama improvisations of the scene on the battlements when the ghost of King Hamlet first appears to the guards.
We loved our visit from the YSC when they performed Hamlet last week and it has really inspired us in our drama and our writing.
We had a fun day out at the beach learning about coastal erosion, investigating rock pools and paddling in the sea!
We participated in an outdoor whole school Pentecost service, where Swallow Class retold the story of Pentecost through story telling and drama.
We are very proud of Arthur who was awarded a Bronze badge in the Primary Maths Challenge!
Swallow Class enjoyed a wonderful theme day where they dressed as evacuees and spent the day immersed in activities based on World War 2. They did drama, cooking, DT (making model Anderson shelters), learning a WW2 song and enjoying a VE party (which was without a doubt the highlight of the day!
Saffron Museum lent us a selection of WW2 artefacts which we enjoyed examining
We love our practical science lessons!
