As part of our World War Two topic, Year 6 visited Beamish Museum. We took part in workshop called ‘a day in the life of an evacuee.’ Here we experienced what it would be like to live and work on a farm in the 1940s. We cooked using rations, fed the animals and blacked out the windows of the farmhouse. We even went inside a real Anderson Shelter. It was very interesting to see what life was like for children during the war and it certainly helped to bring our history topic to life!
Lots of our fantastic Year 5 and 6 children were chosen to be Reading Ambassadors. Over the coming weeks, they are going to be working with younger pupils to support and improve their reading. All of the children are looking forward to this and we will keep you informed about the success of this project.
Both Year 6 classes are trying really hard to improve attendance and our hard work paid off when we won the school trophy. As a reward we had a fantastic time playing on these new scooters, which some of us helped to build!
