• Year 5 Steps Back to Roman Times

  Fri 03 Oct 2025

  To commemorate our history topic, ‘The legacy of the Romans’, year 5 visited the British Museum. It was a very exciting day where pupils managed to see real life Roman artefacts! They came face to face with tombstones, mosaics, jewellery and pottery. They discovered a lot of new and fascinating facts about the objects and how important they are to all of us today, shaping modern life in Britain.

  

• Year 6 Becomes Artists

  Mon 29 Sep 2025

  In art we have been focusing on cityscapes and the work of the artists Stephen Wiltshire and John Virtue. We went on a visit to the city with our art books to draw the cityscapes. We drew many skyscrapers such as the Shard,Gherkin and the Walkie Talkie. It was really fun because we went all around London and experienced the skyscrapers up close.

• Fire Safety Workshops

  Wed 10 Sep 2025

  Earlier this term, year 2 and 5 pupils took part in a Fire Safety workshop where a firefighter from the London Fire Brigade visited the children to talk about fire safety. He showed the children what a firefighter wears and explained how each piece of equipment helps to keep them safe when fighting fires. The firefighter also talked about what to do if there is a fire, including how to stay calm, get out quickly, and call 999. The children learned important steps to stay safe and asked lots of questions about his job. It was an exciting and informative visit that helped everyone understand how to stay safe in an emergency.
