• Year 3 Trip to The Natural History Museum

  Tue 30 Apr 2024

  Year 3 had an exciting trip to The Natural History Museum where students enjoyed an engaging exhibition about volcanoes and earthquakes. During this exhibition, students took on the role of volcanologists and used their knowledge to decide whether a town needed to be evacuated based on a Volcano Town Alert. They had the amazing opportunity to see what an effusive eruption looks like and finally our team of volcanologists collectively decided the town must be evacuated. What a lovely day with great weather and learning!

• Pizza Express - Year 1

  Tue 16 Apr 2024 D Hicklin

  To launch our D&T topic of "Chop it, Slice it and Mash it", we visited Pizza Express and made our very own pizzas! We spread the dough, poured on some sauce, sprinkled the cheese and watched them cook for 6 minutes in the fiery pizza oven! When we were back at school, we tucked into our pizzas. It seems they taste even better when you make it yourself!
