A Visit To Shakespeare’s Globe
Year 6 took a visit to Shakespeare’s Globe this Tuesday to supplement the work that they had been doing in their English lessons.

A Staggering Portrait
Last week during his Plume of Feathers surgery, Mr Evans was intrigued when Aubrey in Year 3 suggested that for her Bronze award in the “paint a picture of someone you admire” category, she’d painted a favourite of his from his Uni days, Siouxsie Sioux, having seen her at Latitude last year. Imagine how happy…
Did You Know Florence Nightingale Invented the Pie Chart?!
On Wednesday, Year 2 were extremely lucky to meet Florence Nightingale, the heroine of the Crimean War we are learning about this term! Florence told us all about her upbringing and her family, who did not want her to become a nurse. She talked about her travels and had the children pretend to be Greek…
Anglo-Saxon Raiders and Different Types of Codes
Year 3 enjoyed finishing their longboat art project this week, assembling the different pieces and adding sails that gave the illusion of Anglo-Saxon raiders catching the wind on a wild sea.

Aiden has also put together a collage showing how much his family…

But due to the departure of Coopersale Hall School,…
Amazing Air Resistance
Year 5 have been investigating air resistance by running with a parachute, recording the time and comparing it to running without a parachute. Noah (5HG) felt the investigation went but it might have been unfair as groups had different amount of wind. Jamie (5HG) thought the investigation went well as we got accurate results and…
