Year 4 - Introduction to Ancient Egypt
Date: 23rd Feb 2026 @ 3:52pm
This week, we spoke about what we already know about Ancient Egypt then for the rest of the lesson we looked at what we could quickly find out about them. We went on an ‘information run’ where we had to go and find a new piece of information out about Ancient Egypt and take it back to our groups and share it. We when shared all these findings together as a class and added them to our class mind map. Next, we were given a scene from Ancient Egypt and we had to find the things which were the odd one out because they didn’t exist in Ancient Egyptian times.
Here’s what we found out about during the lesson:
- They had mud houses with flat roofs.
- They had lots of gods.
- It started 5000 years ago and lasted for 3000 years.
- They used tools to make flour for bread.
- They had a calendar the same as us and it has 365 days (but it was solar).
- Their river is called the river Nile, and it will helped grow their crops.
- They wrote using hieroglyphs.
- They invented paper (Papyrus).
- Pharaohs were kings who were in charge
- Kings did not have any crowns
- They did not have Oak trees
- So many people that lived in Ancient Egypt usually lived next to the river Nile because it went from the top to the bottom and they need the water to water their crops
- The Great Pyramid took 5000 men to build
- They did not have any electronics.
- They fished with nets

Year 3 - Safer Internet Day 2026
Date: 11th Feb 2026 @ 9:09am
To celebrate Safer Internet Day, Year 3 took part in a special live BBC lesson all about staying safe and smart online. The session helped us think about how we use the internet every day and why it’s important to make good choices whenever we are using technology.
One of the key messages we explored was the importance of checking information—especially when it comes from AI tools. We learned that although AI can be very helpful, it doesn’t always get things right. The children practised spotting mistakes, asking questions, and thinking carefully before believing or sharing information they see online.
The class showed brilliant curiosity and gave thoughtful examples of times when they needed to check facts. Overall, it was a valuable session that reminded us all to stay critical, kind, and safe when using the internet.

Year 3 have taken part in a series of RSE lessons designed to help them understand their bodies, stay safe, and appreciate the diversity of families.
In our first lesson, children learned the correct names for male and female body parts. Using accurate vocabulary helps them understand their bodies and communicate clearly if they ever need support.
The second lesson focused on personal boundaries. We discussed appropriate and inappropriate touch and identified trusted adults they can speak to if they ever feel worried. The children also enjoyed singing the PANTS song: “What’s in my pants belongs only to me!”, which reinforced the message that their body is their own.
In the final lesson, we explored different types of families. Children shared examples and recognised that families can look different, but all are built on love and care.
The class showed maturity, respect, and thoughtful engagement throughout.

Year 6 Write Powerful Lindisfarne Monologues
This week, Year 6 have been learning about the Viking attack on Lindisfarne in 793 AD. To help them understand what it might have felt like, the children wrote monologues from the point of view of a monk living in the monastery.
✍️ What We Did
The class learned about:
- What life was like for monks
- How the Vikings arrived on longships
- Why the attack was so shocking
- How to show a character’s thoughts and feelings in writing
After this, the children imagined they were monks and wrote their own monologues describing the terrifying moment the Vikings arrived.
🌟 What We’re Proud Of
The monologues were:
- Detailed – with great descriptions of sounds, sights, and emotions
- Creative – many children used strong vocabulary and dramatic language
- Thoughtful – the writing showed real understanding of how the monks might have felt
Year 6 worked extremely hard and produced some fantastic pieces of writing!
