KS2 walked along the banks of the River Witham today. Thankfully, the weather was kind. They drew maps, noted how humans interacted with the environment and tested the speed of the river in three locations. They also spotted wildlife including several species of birds, ducks, several squirrels and even three rats!
KS2 came dressed as evacuees today. They all looked splendid complete with suitcases and gasmask boxes. They discovered an air raid shelter had been erected in their classroom and warning sirens went off intermittently throughout the day. They investigated WW2 planes, played wartime games, read war based stories and painted propaganda posters. After lunch, they deciphered Morse code messages and cooked Woolton Pie and wartime carrot cake. The class also investigated modern time army ration packs kindly donated to the school. After a game of paper battleships and yet another air raid siren it was time for home. What a fun packed day!
Well done to all Key Stage 2 for creating some wonderful Anderson shelters for their homework task. Thank you to all the parents and carers for your support too! We love how each model is so individual and made from a huge range of materials.
Today KS2 visited Grantham Library. They listened to a range of poems, completed scavenger hunts to help learn about the location of different types of books in the junior library. They also found out about the Dewey Decimal System before operating the self-service system to borrow books.

Class 1 had a lovely visit to the library. We learnt how to find fiction and non-fiction books in the library. We shared some books and were given a book mark and book to take home.
