Year 5 blasted off to Chichester earlier this term for a day at the fascinating South Downs Planetarium. The highlight of the trip was the main presentation in the domed observatory, where we were lucky enough to have Dr John Mason guide us through the solar system as well as taking us on a tour of the International Space Station. Our intrepid explorers came up with a wealth of intelligent (and challenging) questions at the end of the presentation, but, as ever, Dr Mason answered them all. All in all it was a cosmic day out.

Which Witch is Which?!
Down in the forest where fair forest school takes place, a series of supernatural events turned everything foul! Hecate (aka Mrs Moore!) arrived first hovering through 鈥榯he fog and filthy air!鈥� Not far behind was her twisted, terrible and tatty trio of witches. They cast their spells, gave chilling warnings and danced around their cauldron full of bones, remains of animals and all things unnatural. After her chilling presence had mesmerised and frightened 7B2, they finally vanished into thin air leaving echoes of their cackles behind!

Ancient Greek Day!
To celebrate the conclusion of our "Ancient Greece" unit, Year 4 students arrived at school dressed as Medusa, various gods and goddesses, and other Greek characters. We learned how archaeologists utilise Greek pottery to understand the past, and we crafted our own clay plates. Subsequently, we engaged in a game of Petteia, employing diverse strategies to defeat our opponents by trapping their counters on a game board. We concluded our day by sampling Greek cuisine, including pita bread, tzatziki, fish, and cheese.

Today, Year 6 rounded off their World War 2 Topic with a VE day celebration. The pupils all dressed up and during the day engaged in some classic games and races such as the egg and spoon and sack race. They learnt some world war 2 songs in the music lesson and also were taught the Lindyhop dance. The day ended when Year 6 joined together for a VE tea including jam sandwiches and the appearance of a tin of SPAM! What a great way to finish off the topic.
