History Club- Stonehenge

17th November 2021L Moore

This week in History club we have been looking at Stonehenge. We talked about what archaeologists have learned about Stonehenge and what they think it was used for. The children had some fantastic ideas and applied their existing knowledge to justify their suggestions. Miss Whitehead and Mrs Moore were very impressed!

We then made our own Stonehenge using biscuits. We had lots of fun making and eating them! We also had a go at making Stonehenge using Lego.

Next week our focus will be the Ancient Egyptians.

Remembrance Day in Year 4

12th November 2021R Errington

In preparation for Remembrance Day, the children in Year 4 talked about what the poppies represent. We know that they’re a way to honour those who died in military service. We used tissue paper to create our own poppies which we’ve put on display in our classrooms and in the hall. We hope you like them.

Year 5 History Club

10th November 2021L Moore

Today was the first after school History club for Year 5.

We began by talking about how we find out about the past. The children used their Historical skills to look at pictures of artefacts and say what they thought they were, how they were used and what time period they were from.

We then thought about the role of archaeologists and the children drew their own archaeologist, thinking about their clothing and the equipment they would need. The children were interested to hear Mrs Moore was an archaeologist!

Black History Week in Year 4 – Katherine Johnson

10th November 2021R Errington

Last week, the children in year 4 carried out research all about Katherine Johnson. She was a black American mathematician who was responsible for calculating some of the most important and famous space flight routes including the Project Mercury missions and the Apollo missions. We used our research to create biographies all about this inspiring figure in history.

Black History week in Year 2

6th November 2021ajennings

The children in year 2 have been learning all about Mary Seacole as part of Black History week. They found out about her determination to help others, using her own money to travel to nurse soldiers in the Crimean war. She even made her own herbal remedies, many of which are still used today!

The children created some fantastic fact files using all of the amazing information they learned.

Some of the wonderful work created by year 2.
