It was great for Y1 & Y5 to have a visit from members of the local fire service today. As well as learning about fire safety, they also got a tour around the fire engine. @Symphony_LT

Today our pupils stepped back in time to 1939 for a special WW2 Evacuee Day! Dressed in vintage outfits with name tags and gas mask boxes, the children experienced what it might have been like to be evacuated during the Second World War. @Symphony_LT

Y5&6 had a fantastic WW2 day at Beaumanor Hall. As well as learning all about rationing and experiencing life in an air raid shelter, pupils also got the chance to decode secret messages, rather like the ones solved at Bletchley Park. @Symphony_LT

Having revisited primary colours, Class 3 have gone a bit dotty! Inspired by the artwork of Roy Lichenstein, they have created some colourful superhero scenes. @Symphony_LT

Our Forest School sessions have been bursting with Autumnal magic! The children have loved exploring the changing woodland—crunching through leaves, spotting fungi, and discovering how nature prepares for the colder months ahead. @Symphony_LT

LKS2 had a wonderful Ancient Egyptian Inspiration Day. As well as having a workshop led by an actor from Marvellous History Ltd., pupils also created a clay shabti and amulets and had to solve a number of hieroglyphic puzzles. @Symphony_LT
