We all learnt how to use a fire extinguisher last week.

Gymnastics – KS2
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

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!

Well done to Shlok for coming 2nd in the Lincolnshire Schools Poetry competition. We are very proud of you and very impressed by your poem.
Class 4 – DT
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 4 Assembly
Class 4 will be performing their class assembly at 8:50am tomorrow.
RE- Soup
The children thoroughly enjoyed tucking into a bowl of nourishing, vegetable soup at lunchtime today. Why you may ask.
During RE yesterday the children in Class 3 delved into their Bibles to discover what different Bible authors had written about God. They learnt that God is love, made us, is powerful, forgives us, is always with us, and wants to be our friend.
Each message was like a piece of nourishing food. So, as they discovered each message they cut up and added a different vegetable to the pan and the messages became mixed in to become a nourishing soup, that was shared with all the children in school today.
We hope that in the years to come that the Bible messages will continue nourishing the children and helping their friendship with Jesus grow.
Snow day at School
The children had great fun in the snow this morning! Snowmen of all shapes and sizes have appeared on the field and we hope we have time to complete them before the snow melts!
Children in Need Bake Sale
