Dear all,
A Wonderful Day of Autumn Walks, Art and History
We had a wonderful autumn walk around the Abbey this morning. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who joined us and helped make it such an enjoyable experience for the children.
The Year 2 children continued their exciting day with an art visit from Gemma Lane, who explored art with them and encouraged their creativity. We were also incredibly lucky to welcome a real Tudor gentleman into the Year 2 classroom! He was on his way to Hampton Court to work for the King and gave the children a unique insight into life during Tudor times. A big thank you to Finn’s dad for providing the children with this memorable experience, and to Gemma Lane for inspiring the children through art.
Providing our children with rich, memorable experiences is incredibly important to us as a school. These opportunities bring learning to life, spark curiosity and help the children develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Looking ahead to next week’s trip to Hampton Court Palace, the Year 2 children will also be visiting the Abbey for workshops to support their learning about The King Who Stole the Abbey Roof. We are sure these experiences will help bring their history learning to life even further!
Year 2 Parents – A Reminder for Thursday
Year 2 parents, please ensure you are familiar with the plans for Thursday’s trip to Hampton Court Palace. A few important reminders:
-
Sensible shoes: Please ensure your child wears comfortable shoes suitable for a full day of walking.
-
Lunch: Children should bring their lunch in a rucksack that they can comfortably carry themselves.
-
Punctuality: Please ensure your child arrives at school on time for our 7:30 am departure.
Thank you for your support in helping us make this an enjoyable and successful day for all the children.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
