Year 3 visited our lovely Victory Garden. We read the messages we had written to the soldiers, we laid our beautiful class wreath near the cenotaph and took a minute reflection time to think about those that lost their lives during WW2.

Year 3 imagined they were soldiers during D-Day, landing on one of the 5 beaches of Normandy! They went on to write a diary entry as a soldier and used their senses to write ideas of what they may have seen, tasted, smelt, heard and felt. Great work Year 3. 

Year 5 made a start on their spitfire sculptures yesterday! They have gone solid over night and are now ready to be painted today! #enjoy #remembrance

Year 3 enjoyed listening to World War sounds and songs. We practised a short song, Run Rabbit, Run. A great, fun lesson for us all. 

Year 5 have done their research and they are ready to start their Supermarine Spitfire Mark 1 sculptures this afternoon! #enjoy #remembrance

Year 2 have been learning about Remembrance and why we wear poppies. They enjoyed experimenting with drawing poppies before then painting their design onto a pebble to place in our Victory Garden. They wrote some lovely thoughtful messages to go alongside them.

Year 4 #embraced their sewing skills to create some Poppies to add to our class Poppy Wreath. 

They were very impressed with themselves and love how it turned out. Our Poppy Wreath has been placed in our schools Victory Garden to mark our respects. 

This afternoon, Year 4 went out to visit our school Victory Garden. We took the time to think about all the soldiers that fell during WW2. We lay down our class wreath by the Cenotaph and hung up our messages. 

In Year 3 our remembrance week focus is D Day, we have enjoyed learning about it over the past two days.  Year 3 have been very inquisitive and intrigued about the Battle of Normandy.  So far we have read about D Day and answered questions, ordered and described the events of D Day, discussed the…

Year 3 have enjoyed finding out about the different types of artillery and aviation used during D Day.  They used their artistic skills to draw one of the aircrafts using during the great battle.
