Year Group Updates

We have travelled further afield to look at the rainforest! Team EYFS have been researching rainforests and the animals that live there. We have learnt that the rainforest are being destroyed so are thinking of ways to try and stop this happening!

Year 1 had a wonderful time at Penshurst Place exploring toys from the past while comparing them to ones we have in the present. We were so impressed with the children's knowledge and understanding, which they were able to apply on a scavenger hunt in the museum. 

Year 2 had an amazing opportunity to explore the Tower of London, looking at Tudor houses, cobbled streets and even spotting the room where Guy Fawkes spent time during the Gunpowder Plot. We were so very impressed with their knowledge as we looked at London through the lens of the current time in history comparing it to research about the past.

Year 3 had an amazing opportunity when Maidstone museum came in and gave us a detailed workshop on the Stone Age, where the children shared their knowledge of the Stone Age and handled a variety of different artifacts.

Year 4 have been investigating Ancient Greece, exploring its architecture, leisure activities and weaponry. As part of this learning, the children enjoyed an immersive day where they explored a range of artefacts and had the exciting opportunity to handle authentic replica weapons.

Year 5 had the opportunity of an immersive Anglo-Saxon day, they got to explore artefacts and see authentic weapons up close. They even tried playing an Anglo-Saxon game!
