Madam Mayor

The year 6 children were invited to visit the Madam Mayor's Chambers on her last day in office, last week. The children were all asked to sit around the chamber where they could use the speaker system to ask questions. Some lucky children even dressed up in the Mayor's robes.

On our travels

The hook day to start our new unit was based upon World War 2. Children dressed up as evacuees, packed their suitcases, took their gas mask and boarded the train ready to start a new life in the country. Don't they look great?

We'll Meet Again

The year 5 children were transported back to London in 1939 with the Rainbow Theatre Company. They were evacuated to the country where they were met by a billeting officer and sent to their new homes. Every child was then involved in different war scenes and the workshop ended with peace being declared and everyone dancing The Lambeth Walk.

Mask Mania

The homework project for the year 5 Greek topic was to make a Greek theatre mask. The children were allowed to use any media and method of their choice and were encouraged to be as creative as possible. The results were truly stunning as you can see from the slideshow.

Great Grandparents....

Year 5 planned and performed a fabulous collection of songs, plays and poems all about World War 2 to their grandparents and great grandparents. It was a tremendous event where the grandparents and children learnt from each other.

Henry VIII Couldn't Dance Like This!

Years 3 and 4 have been practising Tudor dancing linked to our Tudor Topic.

We have performed several dances using the Tudor steps that we have learned:

• the Earl of Essex
  
• a pavonne


• Branle des Sabots


• the Black Armaine
  

We have also made up our own Tudor dances in small groups. This was great fun!
