2.12.16 Viking workshop day

To round off the work we have been completing on Vikings, we had a visit from ‘Ulf’ today.  We spent a brilliant day finding out more about the Vikings.  The activities included: a Viking quiz, learning a Viking board game, Listening to the Viking creations story of 'Ragnarok', touching replica artefacts and battle re-enactments!  What an amazing day it was!


















30.11.16 RSPB

Today we had a visit form the RSPB.  They talked to us about the habitats that could be found on our school grounds.  After that, we went for a habitat hunt.  When we had finished, we realised that our school grounds had the potential to support the natural environment well.  We are looking forward to doing more, particularly in our science area, to attract nature.

Here are our finished games!
