Our EYFS children have looked at some different animal ‘poo’ after focusing on the book: ‘What do they do with all that poo?’. Miss Oakley then created ‘poo’ examples using chocolate for the children to guess which ‘poo’ came from which animal…they then tasted the ‘poo’! The children have also learned about Tu B’Shevat, a Jewish New Year for trees and tasted the fruits provided by different types of trees. They have definitely been well fed in the last month!

The children in Class 1 have focused on Amelia Earhart and used role play to be eyewitnesses. They explored how historical sources help us understand about the past and then followed this up by exploring other historical role models, including the 1969 Moon Landing and Neil Armstrong.

Our children in Class 2 had a fantastic time at the Bassetlaw Museum focusing on the Romans. They created their own roman vases using clay, took part in an archaeology workshop and took part in marching drills and the turtle formation as Roman soldiers.

Class 3 children have enjoyed exploring different sources of evidence – including the primary source of Mrs Lewins’ dad – to learn more about coal mining. The children have specifical focused on the Cadeby Colliery mining Disaster and the legacy of it. Whilst in Computing, the children have learned how to decipher between real and fake images, particularly enjoying creating their own fake images.
