  Wed 23 May 2018

  A group of Year 2 and Year 3 children attended an able writers course which was being run by the amazingly talented author- Robin Price!! The children worked with Robin to create their own story and were encouraged to really use their imagination and creativity. The children all got their books signed by the author and had a fantastic day. 

  

• Hampton Court

  Tue 22 May 2018

  On Tuesday 22^nd May, as part of our Tudor topic, Year 5 went to Hampton Court Palace. It was a beautiful sunny day, and everyone thought it was amazing!

   

  Henry VIII was the most famous monarch who lived there, best known for beheading people and having six wives!!

   

  One of our favourite places was the kitchen which fed 600-1000 visiting courtiers, we were allowed to chop mince and roast lamb on the spit. There were cool realistic special effects like the vibrating chopping board.

   

  Hampton Court Palace was huge and quite intimidating, but the gold on the ceilings and were spectacular. We saw lots of Tudor roses around the halls and rooms. Even the tapestries in the Great Hall had golden thread woven in. Legend has it that the Palace is haunted…

   

  The Clock Tower was “unbelievable” telling you everything, such as high tide, the months of the year and the phases of the moon.

   

  We even had fun at lunch with the Palace ducks eating our food, and being sprayed by the huge garden water fountains.

   

  How would you feel living in this exquisite wealthy Tudor house? We highly recommend this fun and educational family-friendly day out!      

  

• Year 2's trip to St. Joseph's Church

  Thu 10 May 2018

  Foxes class and half of Woodpeckers class went to St. Joseph's church in South Ham this week. The children met with priest Chris and asked him lots of questions about his religion and belief. The children were amazed by the stained glass window and were allowed to get up close to it- which they really enjoyed and spoke about what they could see in the window.

  The children had a tour of the church and also got to see all Priest Chris' robes which he wears during service.
