If you wish to purchase the photos taken, look out for the photo information slip that your child will bring home by the end of the week.
Year 4 at the British Museum
This week, our Year 4 pupils had an unforgettable trip to the British Museum! The highlight of the day was seeing the real Rosetta Stone up close – a key to unlocking the secrets of Ancient Egypt. The children also went on an exciting hunt around the museum to find mummies, sarcophagi, and other fascinating ancient artefacts. It was a day full of discovery and learning!
Year 6 at the Imperial War Museum
This week, Year 6 visited the Imperial War Museum as part of their history topic about World War Two and the local area. The children explored the exhibitions and looked carefully at historical objects and sources to learn more about the past. A special moment was seeing the gun used by local hero Jack Cornwell in the Battle of Jutland. He showed great bravery and became the youngest person to receive the Victoria Cross.
KS1 visit to Manor Park Library
Our Year 1 and 2 pupils enjoyed a local walk to the library this week, where they listened to stories and explored lots of new and exciting books! Some pupils shared:
“In Manor Park Library, they have a LEGO club and other fun stuff!” Antoni Y2
“I liked going to the library, because they have lots of books and I took out two books with my library card,” Fatema Y2
If you haven’t been to the library as a family yet, try to check it out at the weekend or perhaps in half term!
