Year 6

Reception Bekonscot Model Village 

Last week, Reception enjoyed a wonderful trip to Bekonscot Model Village. The children took part in a workshop where they learned about the fascinating history of the village. They explored all the intricate models and were especially captivated by the impressive train track that wound its way through the displays. The visit also provided lots of opportunities for discussion about what life was like in the past. Highlights of the day included time in the park, the excitement of the coach journey, and of course, sharing their packed lunches with friends! 

Year 1 British Schools Museum 

Year 1 visited the British Schools Museum on Tuesday. We experienced what life was like for children in a Victorian school. When we arrived, we put on some Victorian costumes. We all looked very smart! We played with some Victorian toys, and learnt how to tell if a toy is from the past or the present. Hint: plastic did not exist in the Victorian era! We also took part in some Victorian lessons, including the three Rs (reading, writing and arithmetic). The teacher was very strict, she even had a dunce cap and a cane! 

Year 3 Verulamium Trip

On Monday 19th May, Jays and Redwings visited the Verulamium Museum in St Albans as part of their ‘Emperors and Empires’ topic. Both classes took part in a guided workshop, where they explored a Roman market filled with items once used by the Romans. They also had the opportunity to look around the museum, which was packed with fascinating artefacts and historical information.

A highlight of the trip was visiting the Hypocaust – an incredible ancient underfloor heating system that’s over 1,800 years old! The children behaved brilliantly throughout the day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Year 4 Egyption Workshop

Year 4 had a great day learning about the Egyptians on Wednesday. We adorned our costumes and enjoyed a drama workshop, learning about the mummification process and what explorers did when they stole the bodies.  Back in class, we made papyrus and a sarcophagus made from card. Did you know Victorians used crushed mummy bones as medicine?
