On Friday afternoon, Class 3 visited St George’s Church. As part of our RE curriculum we are learning about the features of Church of England churches and cathedrals and this gave us the perfect opportunity to visit our local Church for the first time in nearly 2 years!

The children were given a layout of a Church of England church and asks to see if they could find all the features of it in our church. They really enjoyed the experience and commented that they had now noticed more features that they hadn’t before, such as, the font, the nave and the sanctuary.

Two children were very excited to see their family name in several areas of the church and have been tasked with finding out more about them and their significance to the local parish.

On Wednesday Mrs Holder gave us a fabulous talk about the role of women during World War 2. She brought in a number of artefacts and books to help explain the role. She answered our questions and helped us understand the significant role women played during WW2. The lives of women were revolutionised after the war and empowered women to take an active role in the workplace.

We learnt also about rationing, made Carrot cookies, sang songs and danced the ‘Lambert Walk’.

A big thank you to Mrs Holder for a thoroughly enjoyable and informative afternoon!

Class 2 have been making their own version of Egyptian instruments. They used materials which could be found at home! They used things like sticks, cardboard boxes, elastic bands, bottles…anything which would make a noise!
