Recent Activities

Poetry

In Sapphire Class we worked together to select, rehearse and perform our own group poems. We worked together in small groups and had to think carefully about how we would use our voices, changing the speed, tone and volume of our voices to put on a good performance! We then performed these confidently at the poetry festival and reflected on how our performances went.

Diamond Class History

In the Autumn, we learned about the Romans. We discovered where they came from and which parts of Europe they conquered. We found out about the Roman army discovering how they were so successful and finding out about their clothing and equipment. We also looked at a selection of pictures of Boudicca and evaluated which we could trust as accurate artefacts.


We learned about circuses before our school trip to the Hippodrome and discovered that in the 19th century, Pablo Fanque was a local circus owner and performer. 


In the spring term we learned about World War II and considered what it would have been like for evacuees. 

Diamond Class Geography

We compared the UK to a non-European country, in this case, the Caribbean. Pupils compared fruits that grow there, beaches, weather and animals. We considered if we would like to visit the Caribbean or maybe even live there one day.


We used an atlas to find the names of the countries and main cities of the UK. Some pupils took on the additional challenge of using compass directions to navigate from one city to another.

Diamond Class Science

In the autumn term we learned about reversible and irreversible changes. We discovered iron rusts and considered ways to protect an iron nail. We enjoyed the practical aspects of this topic and liked experimenting with different substances, predicting what might happen and then observing the results carefully.


Our second autumn science topic was space. We learned about the planets in our solar system and chose planets to research. We learned about the phases of the moon and why we see the moon differently over the course of a month. 


Our spring science topic is about humans and other animals. We looked at how to keep healthy and learned how to read nutrition labels on food packaging. We looked at the school lunch menu to check if the meals are balanced and designed a healthy menu for Mrs Yassin.

Mrs Church’s Leaving Assembly

It was a sad day when we all said a fond farewell to Mrs Church, our executive head, as she left to enjoy her retirement. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done for the school and wish her a happy retirement.

Christingle Service

We held our traditional Christingle service at Saint Margaret’s Church Fleggburgh on the last day of term. Diamond Class retold the Christmas story with the help of the Reception children an everyone made their own Christingle.

Christmas Party

Diamond Class had a great afternoon Christmas party – playing pass the parcel and carrying out forfeits for the prizes. Great fun was had by all!

Meeting Father Christmas

We were all really excited when Father Christmas came to visit on the last day of term. The children were very grateful for their lovely presents.

Christmas Dinner

We all thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas dinner. Thank you to Mrs Buckingham for making our delicious lunch.

Bethlehem ‘s Buzzing

The whole school took part in our Christmas performance of Bethlehem ‘s Buzzing. Every pupil had at least one line and everyone said the acting and singing was amazing!
