In History, our students had a fantastic visit to Hampton Court as part of their Tudor studies. They took part in an engaging Royal Kitchens workshop and explored a range of fascinating areas, including Henry VIII’s magnificent apartments. It was a memorable experience that brought their learning to life! |

In Science, we have been learning about the properties of materials. The children have been filtering, sieving, using magnets, evaporating, burning and much more! We also enjoyed observing the changes that occurred to various materials such as: tea, sugar and hot chocolate once water was added to them. All of the children enjoyed investigating irreversible changes when we burnt a variety of materials in the firepit! |

| In our English lessons, we have been reading the epic poem ‘Beowulf’ that is set in the fifth century. The children engaged with the text and produced a range of written pieces, inspired by the text including a heroic speech and description of a battle. |
