'A day in our school!'

This World Book Day, we were inspired by Michael Rosen's 'Strict'. We enjoyed how he captured his audience in his performance. We created a poem about our school as a class with the aim of capturing our audience in the same way!

What an amazing day we had at Nothe Fort this week - despite the torrential rain! All dressed up as evacuees, the children experienced life in WW2 through various re-enactments. They visited a shop and learnt about rationing during 1940, a laundry and kitchen which taught us about all the jobs that evacuees had to take on and lastly, the anderson shelter which provided a sensory experience of an air-raid. We even earnt a little bit about how the war impacted Blandford!

We were all so incredibly proud of the behaviour and attitude of all the children throughout the day. Every adult that met our children complimented them hugely on their manners and their excellent, thoughtful questions.

To start this half term's history unit all about The Battle of Britain in World War 2, we began by using timelines to chronologically order events in history that we have previously learnt about in other year groups. This included WW1, The Great Fire of London, The Stone Age, The Iron Age, The Vikings, The Anglo-Saxons, Th Maya and our new unit, WW2.

Over the next two weeks, we are learning more about punctuating speech accurately. We are using the McDonalds Christmas advert from 2020 to inspire our writing. The children have been very reflective about channelling their inner (younger) child this Christmas!
