The Year 6 classes enjoyed their trip to the Tower of London. The weather was kind and the children had a great time. They were particularly impressed by the Crown Jewels! The visit coincided with their curriculum work in the Autumn Term; learning about Rules and Democracy in PSHE, Crime and Punishment in History, The City of London in Geography and reading The Executioner’s Daughter (set in the Tower of London) in English. They also developed their fine drawing skills, producing some wonderful drawings of the Tower of London.

The Year 4 classes took part in an exciting robotics workshop, tied into their study of Ted Hughes' classic story, "The Iron Man." The pupils explored the themes of creativity and problem-solving, as they built their own robots using LEGO. With the help of iPads, they programmed their creations to mimic the Iron Man’s movements and interactions. This hands-on activity not only enhanced their understanding of the story, but also sparked their interest in engineering and technology. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for Year 4 to connect literature with technology in an engaging way, inspiring our young learners to think critically and work collaboratively.
