• Blue Class Learn about the Muslim Faith

  Thu 10 May 2018

  Blue Class had an inspirational trip to Faizan E Madina Mosque in Peterbrough.

  Learning about other world faiths is an important element of the RE curriculum and external visits provide context for the children and enrich their learning experience.

  The children enjoyed learning about the ways Muslims worship and the similarities between their religious customs and our own. The building was beautiful with colourful and rich decoration throughout. The children enjoyed meeting the Imam who welcomed us and acted as our guide throughout the tour.

  

• Green Class learn about Shabbat

  Thu 29 Mar 2018

  Green Class enjoyed a wonderful Shabbat experience as part of our RE topic.

  Our visitor, Lynne Gremson came and taught us all about how she and her family celebrate Shabbat and what it represents. The children had fun doing a variety of activities including setting their own Shabbat table listening to blessings, eating Challah bread and drinking grape juice.

  It was an unforgettable morning and we learnt a lot about Judaism.

• Blue Class residential visit to Aylmerton 2018

  Mon 19 Mar 2018

  Blue Class have recently returned from their residential trip at the Aylmerton centre in Norfolk. Although the weather was not always kind to us, we had amazing time.

  On arrival, we quickly viewed our accommodation and dorms, and ate our packed lunches before heading off to Cromer. We visited the museum to learn about the lives of local fishermen and their families and discover more about local rocks and fossils including the West Runton elephant.

   

  We then explored the pier and spent a short time investigating the beach. Later after a delicious dinner, we set off on our twilight safari to experience the clear starry constellations and nocturnal wildlife.

   

  Our second day was “pirate activities” and we headed off for physical and team challenges including climbing walls, low ropes and zip wires. We certainly were challenged by the weather too! However, after a change of clothing and another warming meal, we enjoyed some fun and entertainment at the ten-pin bowling centre.

  The sun was shining on the morning of our last day. We were excited as we were going on a boat trip over to Blakeney point.  We explored the sand dunes and looked for wildlife. After a picnic lunch, we boarded the boat again and went in search of the seals.

   

  We were lucky enough to see many on the beach including one swimming near our boat. Later we disembarked at Morston, then walked along the coast path to Blakeney village. After a short time, exploring Blakeney and saying our “Goodbyes and Thank yous” to the leaders from the Aylmerton centre, it was time to catch the coach home.  Well done to Year 3 and 4, you were a pleasure to be with and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time in Norfolk.

  Please see the Photo Gallery for further photos.

  

• 'Nene' at Peterborough Cathedral

  Mon 19 Mar 2018

  On Saturday, 17th March a group of Y 4,5 & 6 pupils took part in a performance of 'Nene' at Peterborough Cathedral.

   

  This was the culmination of a project in collaboration with NMPAT, local schools and the composer Benjamin Till. Our children, and Mr Middleton, were thrilled to be performing alongside more than 500 children and young people from schools in Peterborough, Rutland and the Oundle cluster and musicians from a range of County Youth ensembles. We were privileged to be given places very close to the County Youth Orchestra so we got the chance to see exactly how an orchestra works.

  Well done everyone!
