Spring 2 2025
Key Stage One enjoyed a wonderful half term of learning. Our Topic of "Are we Nearly there Yet" was such a success and culminated in a wonderful visit to Bressignham Steam Museum, which the children all really enjoyed because we got to ride on x2 different steam trains, looked at the Queen's train, explored all the historical elements of steam travel in the museum and saw the famous postal train. It was such a fun visit, linking perfectly to our learning.
The children's learning this half term included an investigation in Science to create some new waterproof bedding for our School's Guinea pigs, learning about the history of Brandon's Train Station, which opened in 1845, discovering more about the history of the local American Air base and the F35 jets which fly there. The children compared these to the planes designed by the Wright Brother's and the first ever recorded flight.
This half term we also enjoyed:
1) World Book Day festivities - including learning and performing a poem in assembly
2) Year 2 went to a Careers Fayre and learnt about opportunities in our locality
3) Our Forest School sessions - one of which included a fire and toasting marshmallows
4) A wonderful theatrical production of The Tortoise and the Hare
5) Year 2 went to St Peter's Church in Brandon and enjoyed a tour with Rev. Dennis.
Next half term we are looking forward to our new topic of Toys - starting with investigating toys from the past.
