      • Year 6 are Out of this World

        Published 12/01/22

        Year 6 blasted off to the National Space Centre in Leicester. They got the opportunity to take part in a great rocket challenge workshop, where children competed in groups to create a rocket that could land on the moon! The children also went into the planetarium to watch a short film called 'Astronaut' - a surreal experience for some! Then finished the day exploring the rocket tower. Everyone had a great day, embedding the learning about space from the classroom.

      • The Not-so Vile Victorians

        Published 06/01/22

        Whilst the Victorian's may have believed in the adage, 'Children should be seen but not heard', here at Smith's Wood, Year 6 celebrated the start of our new topic with a fun and exciting 'Victorian Day'! Playing parlour games, taking part in a Peaky Blinders experience and acting out a play with the legendary playwright Oscar Wilde were just some of the excellent activities pupils completed. Finishing off by creating some charcoal art and making a classic Victorian toy, we can definitely say 'we were amused!'

      • The Rotten Romans of Year 3

        Published 05/01/22

        Today, Year 3 took part in a whole day of Roman activities! From learning all about Roman numerals in Maths, to writing their name using the Latin alphabet, the children experienced what life would have been like for a Roman child. During the afternoon, they learnt that the Romans were the first people to introduce money to Britain, and therefore made their own Roman coins with pictures of Caesar's face and even wrote the date in Roman numerals they learnt before.

        Published 10/12/21

        Today Year 6 took a groovy look back at life in the 1960s with an array of engaging and exciting activities. They took on the role of Beatles superfans by penning a letter to their favourite member of the Fab Four, proving 'All You Need Is Love' - and Music! The day was rounded off in real swinging-sixties-style, with children designing their own album cover, all the while listening to some of the hits of a golden era!
