Year 4 trip to Castle Museum

Last Thursday, Year 4 went on a school trip! The day started well with a lovely double Decker coach! We happily went up the stairs to the top of the bus. In the blink of an eye, we had arrived at Norwich Castle. We went to the lecture theatre and it was really interesting. Then we made torcs. After that, we were trained for the Roman army! 

After lunch, we had a feast then we looked at how Roman houses were built. Then I fell asleep on the way back to school!

When we got there, we had to walk up a big alley. As soon as we got into the castle, we went into a room like a theatre. We watched videos and made a torc out of tissue and foil. Then we trained to be soldiers. 

After lunch, we chanted Boudica around a fire and then we acted out Iceni jobs. My group were 'spear fishing'. Then we identified Roman objects and put them into categories. 

It was a really fun trip. I hope we do it again in the future sometime.

A gallery of photos will be added to the school website and app in the next week or so, so please look out for them.

Anglia News stars!

To celebrate 10 years of the 'Daily Mile' the Anglia News cameras turned up at school yesterday. 10 children from each year group were selected to take part in the special 'Daily mile' and some children made it on to Anglia news last night. The news crew enjoyed their visit, so hopefully we can welcome them back again soon! You can see it here - we appear at about 19 minutes in.

Norwich School Writing Project

Robyn, Myrtle, Darcy and Neve have been involved in a Community Writing Project held at Norwich Lower School. The project is run in conjunction with the National Centre for Writing and has been hosted by author of books Spark, Pop, and Kick, Mitch Johnson. It has been great to see the girls working alongside other children, being so creative and honing their writing skills.

"I really enjoy the writing project because it teaches me how to use my creativity in my stories. It also helps me come up with great ideas and encourages me to write more." Robyn

"I really like the writing project because I get to do creative writing and there are no boundaries on what you have to write. It is really creative and it SUPER fun" Myrtle

"The reason I like the writing project is because I think it is a fun way of helping you to learn different methods of making a story or just helping you to uplevel your words in everyday writing. There is no wrong way to write your story which is really fun because a lot of people like to be creative and make it up!" Darcy

"I really enjoy the sessions as I love to do creative writing with essentially no boundaries so we can just write our hearts out. All of the teachers there are so supportive of our ideas and thoughts. I especially liked the session on character development, i liked how it created a very creative atmosphere of young people working together to build a story." Neve

To mark the Jubilee in school, we are inviting parents and carers into school for the morning. Each year group is inviting parents in between 10:30-12:45pm to see the displays the children have created; to do an activity with your child; to hear some singing and to have a picnic lunch with them. We hope that you will be able to join us!

Family Days 

Prior to the last 2 years, one of the best parts of the summer term was to have all our families in for a week of activities. This year, we are changing things slightly and having a 'family day' for every year group. Dates will be sent out shortly along with the sign-up emails for the various activities.
