Remembrance and Evacuees!

On Monday the Year 6 gave a moving and thought-provoking Remembrance service as we remembered those who have and still do fight to keep us safe. In Forest School, the children were able to create some wonderful clay poppies using real poppy seeds for the middle.

The long-anticipated Evacuee day finally arrived and the children were not disappointed! We were taken back 80 years to the small village of Cambourwick in 1940. Golly what a difference to their school day - the cane was administered to Dexter and Eleanor as they soaked poor Miss Peabody with the stirrup pump and that wasn't the end of Miss Peabody's misfortunes! Arabella and Oliver had to have their mouths washed out with soap and water as they called her rude names when she walked past the school! A few of the children were slightly anxious with the 1940 school system but we survived and enjoyed the afternoon of spending 2 shillings in the various shops. The greatest success was the spam sandwiches...!

What a find in Sophie's attic...a genuine 1940's nurse outfit! It was great to have Mrs McKenzie model it for the children and wonderful to see a true artifact of the 40's!

Whizz, Bang and Pop it's fireworks!

It's great to see everyone back after half term and all raring to go in the lead up to Christmas. We can't believe that the Christmas Wizard of Oz will be performed in a matter of weeks! A little pleas from us both could the children practise their words as next week the stage will be up and we would like to move around the stage without scripts, as ever thank you for your support.
Over half term Mrs Teesdale's maths group haven't been idle and it's great to see their posters illustrating the different words used for add and take away and I don't think we realised how many there are! Great effort from you all!

A reminder to keep those posters and stories coming in for the CCS more pictures to follow next week!

This week of course saw Bonfire Night being celebrated around the country and Year 3 Forest School was no exception! Unfortunately the weather only stayed dry for 3A but it didn't dampen the spirits of 3T!
