## **The Great Fire of London**

Year 1 and 2 were very lucky to have the Trunk Theatre Company visit. It was to help them learn and retrieve information about the Great Fire of London.

## Ancient Greece

Year 5 were lucky to have a "Greek Day" recently which involved learning lots about the Ancient Greeks. They looked at clothing, pottery and even sampled some of the food. What a great time they had!

## **Vikings**

Year 5 learnt all about the Vikings and had a trip to Martin Mere to become immersed in the Viking way of life. They did some battle formations, started fires, foraged in the woods, weaved wooden walls and explored Viking artefacts. It was so much fun!
