The Great Fire of London

This half term Year 1 will be learning all about 'The Great Fire of London'.
This pupil was very proud to share with the class his adventures in London.
He saw the Monument that was built to remember the fire and visited the streets (Pudding Lane and Seething Lane) where the fire took place in 1666.
He was brave and climbed all of the 311 steps to the top of the tower and back down again!
Year 1 can not wait to use their Historical Enquiry skills to find out more about the events that happened in 'The Great Fire of London'.

1L learn all about 'light over darkness'

The festivities have been in full swing in Class 1L.

We all really enjoyed our Christmas Jumper Day for the Save the Children charity. Thank you for your donations to save Children's lives. Miss Lacey's light up reindeer jumper was a hit with 1L!!

We have had two fun days of learning about Advent and Hanukkah and how different religions count down to Christmas.

We discovered what the five candles on the Advent Wreath represent and had a fun afternoon making our own version. We also discovered that Jews light 8 candles in the lead up to Christmas.

We all now know the importance that light brings us over darkness.

Poppy Day at Shirley Warren

Mrs Bedwell has worked hard with her club making these lovely poppies out of clay.

Did you see them in front of the office?

We have been learning about Remembrance Day in school this week.
Do you know why we wear poppies?

Poppy Day in RS

Today we have been learning about Remembrance Day and talked about what soldiers do. Look at the beautiful poppies we made. 

Remembrance in RG

I am very proud of all the children for being brilliant in our 2 minutes silence this morning! They were all very respectful and did good thinking about the soldiers and the war. We have been busy this afternoon doing lots of Remembrance activities. The children would like to tell you: "We did do our big muscles in soldier training. We pretended to do marching, crawling, star jumping and being really sneaky quiet." "We drew medals we made for being brave or kind or sharing or strong." "We made poppies. We used red, green and black and we can wear them when they're dry."

National Remembrance Assembly

Year 5 joined in with the National Assembly live from the Tower of London. The assembly focused on remembrance, and why we should remember. 

"We should remember the First World War and Second World War because of all of the sacrifice that has gone on." - Regan

"It's sad to think that each poppy planted represents a person who has died." - Kelly

"It was really, really good, especially the facts and figures given. 888,246 Poppy's have been planted and over 16,000 people plant them!" - Rachel

 

The Great Shirley Warren Bake-off!

Year 6 had lots of fun researching, designing and making cakes this week!

Part of our DT curriculum is to make cakes for a purpose; our purpose is to raise money to support The Royal British Legion. To succeed in this we are hosting a cake sale on Thursday 13th November, at 2:30pm, in the Parent Partnership Room.

In order for the children to sell as many cakes as possible, they would like to conduct some market research. Therefore we would like to ask you to answer some questions in the surveys below to find out which flavour of cakes you would enjoy and want to buy. If possible, please take 2 minutes to answer the questions so that the children can make the cakes just to your liking!
