History

Class 2 have been learning all about the history of toys.
We learnt how Victorian toys were different from the sort of toys that we play with now.
We had a special Victorian day at school. We all came dressed up in Victorian clothes and tried out some of the toys that the Victorian children would have played with.
Some of the toys were quite hard to use - they needed a lot of practise!
Some of the toys were a lot of fun and made a change from the ones that we are used to.

Carymoor Environmental Trust

classes 1 and 2 visited Carymoor environmental Trust. We learnt all about what happens to our rubbish after we have thrown it away. Hopefully we will now try to remember the three Rs. Reduce, reuse and recycle.
We walked along the old landfill site. It has been covered with clay now and grass and trees are growing.
The rubbish arrives at the site in big lorries. It is weighed at the weigh bridge before it goes to the landfill.
we weighed our whole class on the weigh bridge. We weighed over a tonne altogether. Sam had the closest guess and he won a pencil made out of recycled plastic.
The rubbish is then taken to the landfill site. We were surprised to see just how much rubbish was there. Because we make so much rubbish the new landfill area is filling up twice as quickly.
We visited a round house that would have been used in the Bronze Age. We learnt that the people in the Bronze Age reused a lot of their materials so there was very little rubbish.

Books At Bedtime

We all looked forward to our books at bedtime evening again this year.
We all came back to school in our pyjamas to listen to stories. At the end we enjoyed a mug of hot chocolate, and learnt a new song with Mr Williams.

World Book Day

The Key Stage 1 children celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite story book characters
We interviewed each other as our characters. We made a special book all about our favourite characters.
