Year 1 - Florence Nightingale Workshop
Year One were lucky to have the lovely Sarah from One Day Creative come in to deliver a Florence Nightingale workshop in preparation for our new History theme.
What a Big Bang it was! The session started with a warm up game, followed by lots of role playing. Whilst Sarah talked to the children about Florence Nightingale, they were encouraged to role play her life from that of a young child to the inspirational woman she later became! We never knew there were so many budding actors in Year One! A fun time was had by all.
Reception - Meadow Lodge Farm Visit
Last week Reception went to visit Meadow Lodge Farm as part of their ‘Country Farms’ theme.
At the farm, they learnt all about the different fruits that are grown on farms like apples, pears and plums. They then had a day full of fun activities such as Minibeast Hunting, Pond Dipping, Nature Drawing and learning all about the wildlife that live on the farm. The children had an amazing day and behaved excellently for the whole day.
Nursery - Butter Making!
As part of our 'Baa, Baa, Moo theme' and understanding where our food comes from, we were able to make some butter. This involved plenty of cream and a whole lot of shaking!
We shook the cream and it thickened. It separated into butter and liquid. It was fun to roll the butter on special butter paddles to give it a lovely shape and pattern.
Year 2 - Art Workshop
Year 2 had the wonderful and exciting opportunity to participate in a puppet workshop provided by The Arts Theatre Cambridge. Year 2 were in awe of the marvellous designs and expertise that puppetry entails. Once we learnt the four key components of puppetry, children had the opportunity to perform a mini group puppet show based on the class story Willow Wildthing and the SwampMonster.
Year 5 - Buddhist Centre Visit
Year 5 visited the Buddhist centre in central Cambridge, which is based in an old, Georgian theatre.
During our visit, two Buddhists welcomed us and shared some of the key beliefs of Buddhism. We learned the story of the Buddha and discovered how his teachings guide Buddhists in their daily lives. They showed us a shrine, which is a very important part of Buddhist worship and reflection. We also heard about their own journeys to becoming Buddhists. They explained the importance of kindness in Buddhism and taught us that Buddhists aim to follow a path towards enlightenment.
We then walked back to school, enjoying a lovely picnic on Midsummer Common and a peaceful walk over the River Cam.
