Over the past few weeks, Year 1 have been busy in Design & Technology designing their very own Little Red Riding Hood hand puppets. They explored and practiced different joining techniques such as gluing, pinning, and stapling before creating their final designs. This week, the children brought their ideas to life by making their puppets – with fantastic results! Well done, Year 1! 

As part of their History topic 'Now and Then', Year 1 had an exciting trip to the London Transport Museum! The children explored how transport has changed over time, comparing old buses, trams, and carriages with the modern vehicles we use today. They loved climbing aboard historic buses, pretending to be bus drivers, and spotting all the different types of transport from the past. 

Year 4 took an exciting and educational trip to the Western Riverside Waste Authority, where they explored what happens to our rubbish after it leaves our bins. During the visit, the children learned all about the importance of the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. They discovered how cutting down on waste, finding new ways to use items, and recycling materials can all help protect the environment. They got a behind-the-scenes look at the waste processing centre, watched huge machines sorting different types of rubbish, and learned how materials like paper, plastic, and metal are prepared for recycling. They were amazed to find out how much energy can be saved through recycling and how even small actions at home can make a big difference. The trip was both fun and informative, leaving Year 4 inspired to become recycling champions!
