Over the course of last term with the topic of Victorians, pupils in Year 4 and 5 have designed and created a room to make a collaborative class Dolls House. They began the topic by looking at a dolls house that belonged to Miss Bell's grandmother and discussed what rooms they saw and what they had in them. They chose the rooms they would each like to make and designed the room on paper. From there they spent a few weeks making and creating the furniture to go inside the rooms. They used fabrics and other recyclable materials to make these and used the glue guns to hold everything together. Moving on they created the flooring using the maths process of tessellation and thought about their colour choices from looking at Victorian tiles. This was then turned into smaller tiles by scanning into the copier and shrinking using the iPads. They finally made the wallpaper by looking at William Morris designs. They had an A5 piece of paper with some starting lines to help them as they created a tile design. Again these were scanned and shrunk and using the iPads they rotated and reflected these patterns to make a repeated design. Fantastic work Year 4 and 5, they look brilliant! 🏠

Pupils in Year 1 went to their first monthly Library visit of the New Year. Last time they all chose a book about dinosaurs in readiness for this visit and even got to make their own dinosaur to bring home. It was very exciting and they are already looking forward to their next visit in February! Thank you to Lucy at Thetford Library!

⭐️ The Year 6 girls enjoyed recent Netball success, winning by 16 goals to 3! Riley was Captain and Stevie was Player of the Match. Well done girls! ⭐️

🌳It may be miserable outside but nothing stops our EYFS class from exploring and having fun in our Outdoor Classroom🌳

At the start of the term Year 3 enjoyed a trip to Norwich Castle museum for a Roman themed day. The children studied artefacts, made Roman torcs and reenacted a battle between the Romans and the Iceni tribe!
