Year 6 took part in Safer Internet Day and learnt about the safest way to share posts and images on social media. We created decision trees to help people decide whether or not to share thier information

Elizabethan Day at Tatton Park

We visited the house of Richard Brereton, who was an important member of the Tudor court. We made felt for clothing, ground wheat for bread, learned about Tudor armour and weapons and took part in a Tudor court session. We also found out what it was like to be in a time when there was no heating!

Science Day

Miss Bentley's laptop was stolen and we had to use forensic science to find out who the culprit was!

Parents Christmas Workshop

Remembrance Assembly

On the Ning Nong Nang

We took part in an NSPCC workshop where we learned ways of keeping ourselves safe and what to do if we have any problems.

As part of Safety Week we had a road safety workshop, reminding us how to be safe when crossing the road, riding our bikes and when in the car

ECO Scarecrow day

Safe Squad

We went to Safe Squad and attended workshops on personal safety, online safety, bullying, fire safety, first aid and community safety.

WWI Workshop at Portland Basin

We met Tommy Atkins, a local WWI soldier who explained to us what life was like for soldiers in the trenches. He let us borrow some of his equipment and taught us how to shoot, use a bayonet, protect ourselves against gas and survive stealth missions into no man's land.

WWII workshop at Portland Basin

We met Betty, a WWII housewife who was helping us, as evacuees, to find our billeted families. As we had forgotten our gas masks, ration books and identity papers, it was going to be difficult! Whilst we waited, we found out all about air raids, the clothes that we'd need to wear and the food that we could eat. We learned how to sing 'Run Rabbit, Run' and we were all given a WWII name by Betty. As a treat, we were allowed to have sugar sandwiches, which were very tasty!
