YEAR 1 - SOUTHGATE SYNAGOGUE
Year 1 had a wonderful trip to Southgate Synagogue, where the children enjoyed learning about Jewish life and traditions as part of their RE learning.
The children were warmly welcomed and showed great curiosity as they explored the synagogue building. They learned about special objects such as the Torah, the Ark, and the bimah, and discussed why these are important in Jewish worship. The children also enjoyed hearing about Shabbat and how families celebrate it each week.
Throughout the visit, Year 1 impressed everyone with their excellent listening, thoughtful questions, and respectful behaviour. It was lovely to see them making links between what they had learned in class and what they experienced during the visit.
The trip was a valuable opportunity to deepen the children’s understanding of different faiths and cultures, and it supported our learning about community, respect, and belonging.
A big thank you to the staff at Southgate Synagogue for having us, and to the adults who helped make the trip possible.
YEAR 3 - CELTIC HARMONY CAMP
What a fantastic day our Year 3 had at Celtic Harmony Camp yesterday. From the moment we arrived, the children were transported back in time to the Stone Age, learning what life was like for our ancient ancestors.
They tried their hand at traditional crafts, explored roundhouses, and discovered how people lived off the land long before supermarkets and smartphones!
Our Year 3 pupils impressed the Celtic Harmony leaders with their curiosity, teamwork, and brilliant questions. It was a day full of learning, fun, and muddy boots.
A big thank you to the staff and volunteers who joined us and helped make the day run so smoothly.
YEAR 4 - VERULAMIUM MUSEUM
Year 4 had a brilliant time visiting the Verulamium Museum in St Alban's, linking to their learning about the Romans in History. They watched historical videos, wandered through the museum's various themed galleries and took part in an archaeological workshop to discover how Roman era tools and utensils are similar and/or different to what we use today.
YEAR 5 - SCIENCE MUSEUM
On Wednesday, we set off on an amazing trip to the Science Museum in South Kensington, and what an adventure it was! We explored the wonders of space, discovering and sharing fascinating facts about planets, stars, and even the incredible Goldilocks Zone, where conditions are just right for life.
One of the best parts of the day was visiting Wonderlab! This brilliant hands-on gallery let us dive straight into science, testing out ideas, trying experiments, and seeing mind-blowing demonstrations right before our eyes.
We came away feeling like real scientists, buzzing with excitement and full of new discoveries. It’s definitely somewhere we’d love to visit again with our families!
