They answered the children's questions, and Dewi read 'In Flanders Fields' written by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae in 1915. This poem mentions the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted, and the remembrance poppy has become a memorial symbol for soldiers who have died in conflict.

Thank you again, to The Royal Hospital Chelsea, the home of the Chelsea Pensioners, for attending our Assembly.

Class 6 explored banking, architecture and construction as they designed, created and decorated their own gingerbread houses!

Class 6 were investigating the structure of the heart, we dissected a lamb's heart to identify the four different chambers - left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium and right atrium and the values.

We also used straws to show where the pulmonary vein, pulmonary artery, aorta and vena cava would enter and exit the heart. We also found the septum and discussed the importance of this to divide the two sides of the heart and prevent the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing.

Class 3&4 enjoyed a day out at the Science Museum.

They watched a thought-provoking 'Flash, Bang, Wallop' show then spread out across seven different zones in the Wonderlab.

The day was filled with plenty of opportunities to interact with real scientific phenomena. The children saw lightning strike before their eyes, played with forces on giant slides and travel through space under a canopy of stars. 

Class 3 and 4 visited the Jonathan Cooper Gallery for Art lesson

They are currently holding an exhibition called ‘A Festival of Colour’. This fits in nicely with what they children have been learning about colour this term. The children spent time looking around the gallery looking at the paintings and discussing the use of colour in each painting.

Class 3 children had fun learning a bit more about the digestive system.

Each child got a plastic cup to represent the mouth, and a pair of scissors to represent teeth. They then had a banana and some crackers (food) and a small cup of water to represent saliva, and explored what happens to food when you eat it - from start to finish!

Class 3 demonstrated their construction skills in making a Viking longboat

Following on from recent visit by a real life Viking (!) Class 3 decided to try their hands at building their very own longship, similar to the ones the Viking took into battle.

The children made the skeleton of the ship, then fashioned the outer skin and even made a scary dragon figurehead.

Reception adventured to the Chelsea Fire Station earlier this term, they got to use the fire hose, get into the fire truck and play the siren. The firefighters explained what they do when there is a fire, and even showed us how to come down the fire pole!

The children all really enjoyed themselves and are already planning a return visit.

The baby room has been specifically designed to focus on the primary areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and will have a focus on learning through play. The facilities will include a play area and a cosy, quiet sleep space. 

You can tour the facilities on one of our upcoming Open Mornings by booking HERE.

You will have received your club sign-up forms for next term, and these are due back by 3rd Jan.

Please note that we allocate places on a first come, first served basis and once a space has been allocated, we cannot make changes until the next round of club sign-ups.

Would your child like to learn a musical instrument?

Why not come along and try an instrument?  We will be offering trial sessions in January for children to try an instrument before they commit to lessons.

It's a great opportunity for them to try something new! We will post notices in the Friday Flyer with details of upcoming sessions.
