• Tuesday 17 March 2026 Year 3 Stone Age Workshop On Tuesday, Year 3 had an exciting Stone Age to Iron Age workshop in the school hall. We time travelled back to the Palaeolithic period when people survived by making tools from stones, making their own fires and gathering berries and nuts to eat. We then time travelled forwards to the New Stone Age and, in groups acted out playing games with dice, fishing, building homes to live in, looking after animals and making things with wool. We travelled again in time to the Iron Age and learned how life developed even more. It was interesting to learn about how much changed during the different periods of prehistory and we were able to apply this learning in our History lesson later too.

• Tuesday 10 February 2026 Year 5 Frameless Exhibition Trip On Tuesday 10th February Year 5 visited the 'Frameless' Art exhibition in Marble Arch. The immersive experience saw us step into the paintings and watch them come to life. We enjoyed matching the paintings that we were seeing to the images on our handouts and we explored how the artists drew the eye to the focal point. We also looked out for examples of foreground, middleground and background linked to our art topic and for examples of gestural lines to show movement. We loved the chance to move some of the brush strokes into the moving pictures with the motion of our own movements and enjoyed being drawn into different land and city scapes around the world in the final gallery. We had a brilliant day and were excited to get back to school to complete our lino printing!
• Friday 6 February 2026 Year 1 Wisley Gardens Visit Year 1 had a wonderful trip to Wisley Gardens! We explored the beautiful gardens and discovered lots of different plants.

We also took part in an exciting workshop where we learnt about different types of plants that grow indoors and outdoors. We were lucky enough to plant our own seed and are very excited to watch it grow, even though we were told it will take three months! Later, we went on a walk, where we collected natural materials and created our own artwork on clay attached to a tree. We did lots of walking and were very tired by the end of the day, but we had an amazing time and learnt so much.

We learnt that a seismometer can be used to detect, measure, and record ground vibrations so that scientists can detect earthquakes and magma movements before volcanoes erupt. We then looked around the volcanoes and earthquakes section of the museum and experienced what a real earthquake might feel like.

I was so proud of their behaviour and I am sure they have told you all about the play.

• Wednesday 1 October 2025 Year 3 Victorian Day & Theatre Workshop Year 3 were visited by a very strict Victorian teacher yesterday, who made sure we followed all the school rules. We had to sit up straight, speak only when spoken to, and write neatly with our right hands. We practised our learning with chants, repetition, and copy work, just like children would have done over 100 years ago. In the afternoon, we went outside and played traditional Victorian games like hoop rolling, which was lots of fun. At the end of the day, we talked about how different school life was for Victorian children and reflected on this in our history books.

As a whole class, we then debated the reasons for and against how prepared Queen Victoria was to become queen at a young age.
• Monday 22 September 2025 Year 2 Local Walk - Local Heroes As part of our Local Heroes topic, Year 2 visited the former home of Enid Blyton in Chessington, followed by a walk to Harry Hawker's resting place at St Paul's Church. The children were fascinated to imagine Enid Blyton looking out of the same windows and walking the same streets as they were, and they wondered what might have inspired her to write her wonderful stories. Across the road, we visited Harry Hawker's well-preserved grave and read the inscription together, discussing his bravery and achievements. The children were respectful, curious, and asked thoughtful questions throughout the visit. It was a lovely and memorable trip for everyone.

The visit was a great success, and all the children behaved beautifully throughout the trip.
