Ahoy me Hearties!

Year Two have enjoyed a full day learning all about Pirates and creating some of the objects that they would have used. We even looked at creating our very own Pirate names.

The children loved making the cutlasses and the telescopes. We even made up some moves to a Pirate…

Happy New Year to you all.  

Our current topic is the Titanic.  We started the week off by giving each child a ticket to board the ship.  As the children boarded, they took their place in either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd class dining area.  Once at their table they had the opportunity to study the…

We have kicked off our Pirate Topic is style this week.  We have been 'Swashbuckling' ourselves, thinking about what we would put in our treasure chest, creating sea shanties and making pirate treasure maps!  We have also made pirate flags, pirate hats and cutlasses.  Below are some photographs…

Here are some photographs from our Christmas week...

We would like to wish everyone a

We've had a great end to 2016 in Year 5.  The children enjoyed visiting various countries during our Christmas Around the World topic which was followed by their Christmas party and lunch.

It has been a fantastic end of term for Year 4.
