Reception

Freightliners Farm

20th January 2025

Reception class had an amazing time at Freightliners Farm! They had the opportunity to stroke a goat and even hold a rabbit. They learned fascinating facts about the animals' diets, the importance of sustainability in farming, and how to care for these wonderful creatures.

Back in the classroom, the children were incredibly excited to share their experiences. They used their newfound knowledge to create detailed animal fact files and even presented their learning to the rest of the class. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm for science sparked by this hands-on experience.

Year 5

British Museum

14th January 2025

The children started the day by travelling to Holborn to visit the British Museum. First, the children visited the Upper floors to room 55 and 56 to explore the lifestyles of ancient Sumerians. children had a pre-planned worksheet to complete which focused on agriculture, Standard of Ur and children explored the lives of ancient Sumerians. Year 5 then went to observe some artefacts from the Indus Valley and Ancient Sumer civilisations. Children went on to compare the artefacts by discussing the similarities and differences between them and how each artefact may be used within the area that each civilisation is from. Some of their answers stated how objects differed depending on the climate of the region, access to the type of food (by either having to either hunt more food or grow more food) and inventions that all civilisations had created; allowing different usage of some of the same materials. In the afternoon, we explored our next History topic of Ancient Egyptians. Children learnt about how animal mummies were given as gifts to the gods and goddesses by the worshippers that visited the temples.

This half term, Year 4 received a fantastic opportunity to visit the fantastic Science Museum located in South Kensington, London. We began the day by exploring the public exhibitions. The most interesting was exploring the journey of medicine and how it affects the human body. 

After a short break, we made it to our main attraction: What’s in your guts? This fascinating workshop showed us what each food type, such as proteins and carbohydrates, does for the body. Furthermore, we followed the journey of food through our digestive system. It was an amazing experience that highlighted how amazing the human body is.

In the workshop we learnt about space, rockets and astronauts. We did some fun experiments, like making a rocket take off using an air pump and filtering dirty water so it can be reused. After the workshop, we had lunch and then we went to look at the Exploring Space gallery. We saw real life rockets and satellites, as well as a full-sized replica of Eagle—the lander that took astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to the Moon in 1969.
