Last Thursday Year 3 went to the British Museum to take a better look at what life was like in Ancient Egyptian times. Even though it was very busy we did get to see everything in both rooms. It was extra special as we are currently reading The Ancient Egyptian Sleepover by Stephen Davies who has set this story in the actual museum itself and we were all guessing which parts of the room they slept in by recalling the story. There is also alot of reference to many of the artif

During our COOL Time, Ducklings Class have been busy exploring a range of exciting dinosaur-themed activities designed to spark curiosity and a real love of learning! The children were thrilled to discover mysterious dinosaur eggs hidden in the TUFF spot, they were so old they had turned rock hard! This led to lots of problem-solving as the children worked out different ways to crack them open, developing their Physical Development skills and perseverance. Their excitement gr

Ducklings Class had an absolutely roarsome time on their trip to Folkestone Museum, where they took part in a fun, hands-on dinosaur workshop! The children explored how rocks and fossils are formed, getting stuck in with some amazing real-life specimens from Folkestone and beyond. They discovered which dinosaurs once roamed right where they live and learned how scientists use clues from fossils to understand the past. The session was packed with sensory activities, giving eve

Last week our history lesson was all about mummification and what they used to do when a Pharoah died. We learnt all kinds of fairly gruesome things! But very interesting that they were treated with the utmost care and attention to detail. Some of their organs were stored in canopic jars and were placed in the tomb. There are four jars: Hapi protects the lungs, Imesty guards the liver, Duamatef protects the stomach and Qebehsenuf protects the intestines ready to enter the aft

We have had a roaring start to the new term in Ducklings, as dinosaurs arrived in our classroom. The children were full of excitement and curiosity as they discovered all the prehistoric surprises waiting for them. Our little explorers became palaeontologists, carefully using brushes to uncover dinosaur bones in our excavation area. There was great concentration as they gently swept away to reveal their discoveries. In the creative area, the children made colourful handprints

Thank you parents for the AMAZING costumes and accessories! We had lots of fun today learning all about Victorian school rules before practising our handwriting in the Victorian style, both on paper and on slate with chalk. We drew and played hopscotch, a Victorian playground game still enjoyed today, and sampled some delicious Victorian sponge cake - named after Queen Victoria of course!

Year 3 and 4 were lucky enough to go to London to visit the 'Last Days of Pompeii' exhibition. The children got to experience a 360-degree digital show, including a seated VR adventure where they entered the coliseum and witnessed a gladiator fight, as well as explored the legendary Villa of Mysteries. All the children had a great time!
