KS2- Brain Builder Homework

7 Feb 2025

The children in Class 3 and 4 have been researching about Rio de Janeiro for their Brain Builder homework. Today they presented their findings to each other through a variety of different mediums – posters, PowerPoints, Scratch games and speeches. They have all worked extremely hard Miss White and Mrs Carrington are impressed.

In addition, they were required to make a mask for their dance topic this term which will be used in their final piece which is all about Rio’s carnival. As you can see these have been carefully crafted by the children and look very eye-catching.

One child described Rio through a poem:

‘Birds sing in the park,

Football shouts in the streets,

People dancing and singing,

One step further to the… Carnival!’

Well done to all of KS2 for their efforts.

Class 4 – Microbes

Chinese New Year!

29 Jan 2025

The whole school celebrated Chinese New Year today. It was a great opportunity to learn more about this vast country. The children in class 4 read and wrote myths and painted their interpretation of the Willow Pattern. They used comprehension tasks to learn about animals like the panda and structures such as the Great Wall of China. They had the opportunity to discuss different currencies and were able to handle a silk moth cocoon. They used atlases to fins out about Chinese mega cities and were staggered that the population of Shanghai was over half of the population in England. But the most important part of the day was of course the appetising lunch!

Class 3 were exploring Chinese culture and looking at Lunar New Year. In 2025 it is the year of the snake and so the class learnt how to make origami snakes- these were difficult but the children showed lots of resilience and determination. The children made collage lanterns whilst listening to traditional Chinese music. Finally the children researched about Pandas- they found out that new-born pandas are blind and have white fur. This was followed by drawing a cartoon version of a Panda- these are very impressive.

Class 1 – Snow too

27 Jan 2025

Today Class 1 had a busy morning for as well as making ice lollies they also followed a recipe to make their own no cook snow dough that glitters like a frost!

The children weighed the ingredients using cups, mixed and kneaded the dough, and decided whether they needed to add more water or flour to make their dough the right consistency. They then had great fun creating with their glittery snow dough.

Class 1 – Ice

Gymnastics – KS2

2 Dec 2024

Today the children in KS2 created a routine to music in groups. They used all their knowledge from previous lessons and created some fantastic rhythmical sequences. The routines included jumps, leaps and rolls. They have worked extremely hard this term in gymnastics to improve their performance and have worked so well collaboratively. Well done

Firefighting

2 Dec 2024

Exciting Learning at Dudley House School!

On Thursday, our Headteacher Mrs. Johnson and KS2 pupils had an unforgettable experience with fire extinguishers, thanks to Chubb Fire and Security. The whole school took went outside to listen and watch. It was particularly important for Year 1 and 2 have been learning about the Great Fire on London and Class 1 have been roleplaying the Fire Brigade.

Our students learned the importance of raising the alarm and ensuring safety in a fire. They also explored the fire triangle—heat, fuel, and oxygen—and how removing one can stop a fire. This hands-on activity made safety education both fun and memorable!

At Dudley House School, we believe in incorporating real-world learning experiences into our curriculum. Activities like these not only enhance our children’s understanding but also create cherished memories they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

A big thank you to Chubb Fire and Security for ensuring our safety and for providing this fantastic educational opportunity!
