Some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils  spent two days on a Bikeability training course.  This included work in the classroom, practical manoeuvres on the playground followed by on road manouevres.  All the children passed the course giving them skills and confidence to ride their bikes safely on the road.

Year 4 enjoyed a visit to Courtfields School to take part in a net and wall sports festival.  They all had great fun, practicing many PE skills and experiencing new sports such as volleyball and table tennis.   Our thanks to the fantastic young sports leaders for a great morning.

We explored the whole museum enjoying all the interesting artefacts and we attended a workshop about Saxon times, creating  models and learning about the Saxon alphabet.

History came alive this week when Pankhurst Class went to visit Coldharbour Mill to experience what life was like in a Fox Brothers mill.  They learnt about children working in the mills and what a hard life it could be, as well as looking at how the cloth was made from start to finish using the old machines.  Surprisingly, some of Pankhurst class wanted to work in a mill at the end of the day! 

On Wednesday 20^th March, children from Mandela Class in Year 2 walked to Wellington Museum.

Whilst they were there, they found out all about the fascinating history of Wellington and its local area. The children then had the chance to explore some artefacts hands on. It was a great session, and it really enriched the children’s learning and will help them for the rest of this topic. The class would like to thank the museum for giving up their time to help us with our learning journey about the history of Wellington.
