This term, year 3 were lucky enough to visit Lea Valley for a Stone Age day. One of the activities involved us spending some time outdoors. We had to identify the different types of plants that they would have had in the Stone Age. We were then able to discuss what they would have been used for. We also had a go at using a fire steel to make our own fires. This proved quite tricky although a few of us did manage to set alight the cotton wool tinder! In the afternoon, we spent time looking at different artefacts. These included flint, spear, arrowheads and antlers. After that, we had a go at creating our own cave paintings by candlelight using charcoal. It was a really fun and interesting day and everyone definitely enjoyed themselves and learned lots!

Last week 8, KS1 children participated in a rugby festival at Holy Family School.

They played different mini games to introduce them into rugby.

The children loved playing a new game and competing against other schools!

During half term, we ran a sports and activity day for 38 children.

They all enjoyed a range of activities including dodgeball, football, dressing as a Mummy, apple bobbing, just dance and Art.

The children and adults really enjoyed the day and look forward to the next one in February half term!

We learnt about Autumn and found lots of Autumn treasures in the forest in our school.

Collecting sunflower seeds from sunflowers grown in the school garden to make bird feeders.

We drilled holes in conkers and threaded string through them to make conker chains.
