• Our Amazing Week! Class 5 and 6 - Home Front Bus and WW 2 Workshop

  Fri 19 Mar 2021

  Class 5 and 6 have had 2 full days of excitement focussing on their topic, World War 2. On Thursday we were visited by the home front bus and the children experienced what it was like to be in an air raid shelter and learnt more about life in Britain on the home front. On Friday we were visited by Captain and Matron Buss, who spoke to the children about what life was like on the front line and showed them many artefacts from the war. Over the course of the 2 days the children also learnt how to sew, learnt how to carry out basic WW2 first aid, made a gas mask, tasted food from the 1940s and discovered just how much food was available to people during rationing.

   

  

• Our Amazing Week! Class 3 and 4

  Fri 19 Mar 2021

  Class 3 and 4 had a wonderful day on Wednesday, we had a real Viking, Bjorn, visit Felbridge to teach us about Viking life. The adults and Bjorn were very impressed with the children’s behaviour and engagement in the day. Well done Class 3 and 4, we were all very proud of you.

  My Viking day was great. My favourite part was when I got to be a rich person and a doing a war. The man’s name was Bjorn. I got to put on real metal helmets, they were heavy. We got to hold the chainmail. I watched people hold it and I know it was heavy because when people held it, their faces went red and some people couldn’t even pick it up, I could though. I had a fun day - India

  First the Viking man got us to do a Viking name, nickname and a Viking job. Then we ground some wheat and it turned into flour. We looked at some cup, horns, spoons and antlers. Then we looked at Viking necklaces and put them on. We tried on helmets, they were a bit heavy, then lifted chainmail, it was so heavy. Finally we learnt some moves and that was our Viking day - Sophie

  My Viking day was so fun. My favourite part was when the Viking person Bjorn taught me how to make a shield wall, that is where you put each shield together to protect sword people. The last thing I couldn’t really do was to pick up the chainmail shirt. Two other things I really loved with Bjorn is I played Viking games, one game was exactly like noughts and crosses but on the lines and no drawing. The other game is you have to put what Vikings eat and not eat. The other thing I carried, held and wore were two Viking helmets and an axe - David

  My favourite part of the day was the shield wall and learning about the Viking jobs. I really liked when we had to write our name in runes because we also got to choose our Viking names. We also had a go at guessing what foods Vikings would of ate. I was surprised when Bjorn said that they didn’t eat potatoes! It was fun when we learnt about the Battle of Hastings - Fleur

  My favourite part of the day was writing out our certificates, making flour, playing games and seeing necklaces. I really like writing out our certificates because we picked out cool Viking names and also amazing jobs. I really liked making flour because it was crazy how just spinning wheat into pieces makes flour. I really liked playing games because it’s quiet fascinating how their games are quite similar to ours. I really liked seeing all the beautiful necklaces and putting them on because all their necklaces are made of wood unless they are really rich - Nevaeh

  This week Class R have had a very busy week! On Monday they had their first session in the ICT suite, in there, they all had a practice of using the mouse. On Tuesday, we went into the woods for the first time and did a scavenger hunt, played hide and seek and had an explore! 

   

  

• 'Books in a Jar' Competition Winners

  Fri 12 Mar 2021

  A group of teachers and Mr Hogan-Fleming had the almost-impossible task of trying to choose a winner from the deluge of imaginative designs we received. In the end, we chose Freddie’s (Class R) brilliant plasticine Supertato, and Lianna’s (Class 5) beautiful Little Red Hen snow-globe farmyard. Both children have received a certificate and a book voucher for their designs.

   

  

• Class 6 - House for a Mouse

  Fri 12 Mar 2021

  Class 6 children were tasked to work co-operatively in groups to build a 'house for a mouse'. The mice were really lucky as they had some great structures made for them including home comforts such sofas, beds, televisions as well as outdoor areas with gardens and pathways.

  One lucky mouse even had a 'jail' for any other woodland creature who might dare to enter the property and get caught! A great start to being back at school.
