The Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages
We had an amazing art and crafts History Day linked to the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
Activities included handling Stone Age rocks brought from a museum in Leicester, dressing up, cave drawings, building model henges, creating beautiful Iron Age mirrors and models of Roundhouses.
It was a brilliant day. Look at the photos and some of the children’s recounts of the day.

The Great Fire of London

On Tuesday January 5th, Year 2 welcomed The Partake Theatre Company for the afternoon. The children learned lots of interesting information about The Great Fire of London. They all wore costumes and re-enacted the events of the fire of 1666.

Burning Pudding Lane
|
On Monday March 7th 2016, Years 1 and 2 took their card houses outside to burn so they could re-enact the start of the Great Fire of London. The children had made their houses in pairs during a previous lesson. The houses were then stuck down onto cardboard so that they could not blow away in the wind. Fire safety precautions were taken to ensure the children were in no danger as they watched. The houses were then set alight by an adult and the wind did a great job of whipping the fire up and spreading it as it had done in 1666.

A Visit From Some Firefighters From Central Fire Station
|
On March 17th, Years 1 and 2 were visited by the Firefighters from Central Fire Station for the morning. First, they explained about all the equipment on the rig and the children took turns to fire the water hose at a cone to knock it over. They were also able to climb up and sit inside the engine and put on the Firefighter’s helmets. For the rest of the morning, they had training in Fire Safety in their homes and at school. This enriched our work in science on Materials and our history work about the Fire of London. The children learned about how things have changed and become safer for us in 2016. They each wrote a Thank You letter to the Firefighters for coming to see us.
