Today the KS1 children took part in a Great Fire of London workshop.
The children were immersed into life in London in 17th century by taking on the role of various shopkeepers.
They made soap and scented handkerchiefs and worked with leather.
Throughout the day, the children learned how the Great Fire of London started and how it spread through the city.
Last week we recommenced our programme of residential trips and the Year 2 children all went to Edgmond Hall, staying over for two nights.
The adventure started with the children walking from school , along the High Street then along the canal to Edgmond – they were very excited to be walking so far but they all made it!
Once at Edgmond the children did lots of activites during the day, and looked after the animals as well as exploring the grounds of Edgmond Hall and learning all about it.
In the evenings , the children did a night walk on the first night, using torches and also making wishes on the wishing tree.
On the second night, they took part in a campfire , singing songs and toasting marshmallows.
We were very proud of the children and how independent they were. They all carried their own luggage upstairs, arranged their own clothes in their cupboard and made their own beds. At the end of their stay they also stripped off their bedding and packed all their clothes for the return journey. Well done Year 2!
The children love Forest School and today was a lovely day for it. We thought we would share with you some of the things that the children get up to.
Last week we welcomed our new Reception Class into school. We are really proud of how the children have settled in.
Here are a few photographs of their first week at school.
Chloe has been taking part in gymnastics at Park Wrekin and received her certificate this week. Well done Chloe! Chloe was also lucky enough to meet Alice Kinsella who had just returned from the Olympics. We have some photos of Chloe including one holding the bronze medal. What a great experience Chloe !
Sports Day this year is in Bubbles – and so it begins!
Moorfield Primary Reception class had a visit from the police today. Luckily no-one had been naughty but the children all learned lots about what the police do to keep everyone safe.
Base 8 have been learning about money in maths this week and enjoyed finding the correct amount to make their purchases.
The children were also set some extension homework and Jacob sent his in for everyone to see.
