Ancient Greek Day Video
Ancient Greek Day!
Our students recently stepped back in time to experience life in Ancient Greece! The day was filled with hands-on activities that brought history o life and sparked creativity. Children explored traditional crafts and practices, including:
- Soap Carving-Inspired by ancient artistry, students carved intricate designs into soap.
- Potion Making-Recreating herbal mixtures and learning about remedies used in ancient times.
- Crown of Leaves- Each child crafted a beautiful wreath crown, just like those worn by Olympic champions.
- Designing Ancient Greek Coins- Students imagined themselves as rulers and created their own coin designs.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our learners to connec with history in a fun and interactive way. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this day memorable!

Anglian Water Visit
A Big Thank you to Richard from Anglian water!
Today, our Year 5 children had a fantastic visit from Richard at Anglian Water. He taught us so much about water cycle, what happens to the things we flush down the toilet, and how water is cleaned and recycled before it comes back to our homes. The children were amazed to learn where the water in our taps actually comes from and discovered lots of clever ways we can all save water every day. From turning off the tap while brushing our teeth to fixing drippy taps, every little action makes a big difference!
Thank you Richard, for making learning about water fun and easy to understand. Our pupils left feeling inspired to take care of this precious resources.
