06:30 PM - 20th October, 2025 ☔️ Despite the rain outside, our classroom is still full of autumn magic and discovery! 🍂 At our Investigation Station, the children have been exploring seasonal changes in Geography by using their senses to investigate pumpkins, leaves, pinecones and conkers. They’ve been asking questions like “What does the pumpkin feel like?” and using fantastic scientific vocabulary to describe what they notice. Even on wet days, our young learners are still becoming curious scientists, thoughtful geographers and brilliant observers of the world around them! 🍁🔍🎃
08:00 AM - 18th October, 2025 Year 2/3 had a fantastic adventure travelling back in time with a special visitor from the marvelous history company! The children explored how early humans lived, learned about tool-making using flint, bone, and antler, and got to handle replica artifacts like animal skins and hunting weapons. This hands-on prehistoric workshop was truly unforgettable! #stone age #ironage #historyworkshop #HandsOnLearning
