Bronze to the Iron Age - What Changed? (Autumn Term)

To complete our wider curriculum focus, we visited Somerset Museum for an Iron Age workshop. The children wowed the staff leader with their knowledge. The activities included: learning about the production of glass beads that were infamous in Somerset, making wool using iron combs and spindles, creating coins with a pattern stamped on them and exploring the artefacts in the Museum.

World War 2 Theatre Workshop (Summer Term)

Class 4 and 5 had the privilege of taking part in the Theatre Workshop, where they were transported back to  September 1939. Through drama, they were able to gain a further understanding of what life was like during World War 2. We had a meeting with the local warden to talk about the Blackout process, practised what to do when the air raid siren sounds, looked at rationing, gas masks and evacuation. The children thoroughly enjoyed their experience today.  

Roman Trade (Spring Term)

We have been focusing our learning on Trade, understanding what trade is and how it started in Roman times. We have identified how and why goods are imported and exported. We then looked at what was traded in Roman times and where trade happened, using atlases to identify the modern names for cities.
