Babushka

19 Dec 2024

Last night the children enjoyed telling the story of Babushka, an old woman who spent so much time cleaning her little house that she failed to notice beautiful things going on around her: a new star shining in the sky, an angel hovering in her garden and an exciting message being spread by three mysterious kings.

In a dream, an angel sings to Babushka of a baby boy born in a manger. Horrified to think of this baby shivering in a dirty stable, she sets off with a basket full of presents and cleaning materials. On her journey she meets people in need, and by the time she reaches Bethlehem she has learnt a valuable lesson, as well as filling an empty place in her heart.

A fantastic performance from the children with a poignant message. This term, the children have been thinking of lots of different ways they can help others and make a difference. We hope that this Christmas time everyone will take time to help others and in so doing spread love and joy in our community.

Happy Christmas everyone.

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

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!

Class 4 – DT

27 Nov 2024

Today, our Year 6 students continued their exciting journey into the world of engineering by creating more cam prototypes. Building on their previous understanding of what a cam does and how different shapes affect movement, this session focused on enhancing their learning with a hands-on kit.

By using the kit, students were able to see first-hand how the movement of a cam can cause a follower to move. This practical experience is invaluable as it deepens their understanding of mechanical systems, which they will soon apply when assembling their own toys.

Understanding the intricate relationship between cams and followers gives students a glimpse into the world of engineering, encouraging them to think critically and creatively. This foundational knowledge not only supports their current project but also ignites curiosity about how everyday objects around them function.

Did you know that cams are used in various everyday items, from clocks to car engines? They play a vital role in converting rotational motion into linear motion, which is essential for many mechanical processes!

Stay tuned as our young engineers continue to explore and innovate!

Class 1 & 2 -The Festival of Lights

23 Nov 2024

The children in Class 1 and Class 2 have been learning about Festivals of Light. They enjoyed acting out the story of Rama and Sita and learning about how Diwali is celebrated. They used clay to make their own diva lamps and coloured rice and sand to create beautiful Rangoli patterns.

This week they enjoyed learning about how Hanukkah is celebrated. A Menorah was lit in the classroom as they played the dreidel game – the children were very good at sharing!
