What a fantastic day we had experiencing what it might have been like for children during World War 2. From evacuation to recycling scrap; school lessons to air raids, we had a great taste of life in the forties and will be able to use the experience throughout this expedition.

3H were evacuated to Barton-upon-Humber on Tuesday. Parents waved us on our way as we left the city of Doncaster with gas mask boxes, name cards and packed lunches in hand. On our arrival at Wilderspin School, we met our billeting officer – Naomi – who showed us where we would have to stay and told us what would be expected of us as a child in 1940ās Britain. She then gave us a stereotypical 1940ās school experience where we heard Princess Elizabethās speech to the nation during this difficult time.
Later, Ian taught us all about Churchillās Cogs. Itās fair to stay that 3H didnāt realise quite how difficult life was for children during World War Two.
What a fabulous day!

Thank you for doing us at our Celebration of Learning on Friday.
It is amazing to reflect on how much we have covered this term as we listen to the children talking about it and went through the exercise books.
I think the singing was the most beautiful performance we have ever had and the final product went down a treat!
Thank you to Mrs Williams (Julianna’s Mum) for taking the basket of goodies to the Care Home.

Year 1 have been absolutely brilliant today, showing kindness, respects and wonderful HoWLS during their visit to the Deaf School. We have completed a local community field work study, working with specialist local partners within our community and developing lots of skills and knowledge about our local community! I am sure the children will be able to teach you a few BSL signs when they get home. Thank you to all the teachers and children of the Deaf School who were awesome experts! #LovePlover
Year 2 were kindly invited to the Deaf School to support us with our learning for our Expedition. We were introduced to some of the children at the school and then we had to use their signing names to see if we could work out something about their personality. We did really well! Then we used some of the signs we had already learnt in school, along with some new ones, to play colour bingo. We had to focus hard because there weren’t any audio prompts. We had to watch and pay attention! Our last activity was learning to finger spell simple words and then to use the sign for that object. We have just started learning this in school so it was brilliant to get a chance to practice it!
We all had a brilliant time and learnt a lot. We all said thank you to the Deaf School for hosting us.

6B have been building background knowledge today as part of our new Expedition āHow can a healthy lifestyle impact our body and mind?ā. We dived into our history case study and started to research the Egyptians. The children then transferred their new found knowledge onto a double page spread! Keep checking our blog to see what we get up to as part of our new Expedition!
