Shoebox appeal by the Rotary Club
This morning, Class 1 were delighted to help load the shoeboxes, that our families had put together for the Rotary Club Shoebox Scheme, in to a car to begin their journey. We hope that the boxes will ‘Spread a little happiness’ this Christmas to those who receive them.
Woolsthorpe Trip
Children from Key Stage 2 had a fabulous time today at Woolsthorpe Manor. When they arrived, they were taken straight to the science learning centre where they were able to perform some investigations to prove some of the laws Newton had written. After a short break, they enjoyed a guided tour of the house. They were all fascinated by the kitchen and Sir Isaac Newton’s bedroom. The best was left until last when they made paper rockets and used a ‘ Henry Hoover’ to shoot their rockets over the wall. The volunteers at Woolsthorpe Manor were all really knowledgeable and made it a really useful learning day.

Riverside Walk
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!
Evacuee Day
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!
