HAPPY HOLIDAYS :)

Year 3/4 trip to Donnington Le Heath and Bosworth Battlefield

The day will start with the morning at Bosworth Battlefield being guided around the field by an historian telling the children about Tudor Times.

The afternoon consists of the children taking part in 2 workshops:-

• Working in the kitchens as a Tudor servant making Tudor recipes
• Experiencing a Tudor classroom and how to write in the Tudor fonts.

Also, the children will be able to look round the Manor House, play with Tudor Toys and dress up in Tudor clothes.

The activities will be done in two separate sessions and will be transported to and from each venue during the day.

It will be a marvellous day filled with fun, enjoyment and learning.

World of work talks in Y6 (week beginning 19th April 2010)
Last week a number of parents visited Mrs. Moores' class to talk about their jobs. From speaking to the children and Mrs. Moores it seems that the children found it very interesting and informative. There are more visits planned for later on in the summer term. Please may I thank the parents for their support. Miss Lenton :)
