FSU enjoy learning about 100 years of the BBC for History Day. Dressed as characters from Children’s TV programs, we ‘Watched with Mother’, then took part in a make from a 1952 episode of the program, before comparing it to modern CBeebies programs now, and talking about what BBC programs our parents and grandparents used to watch; finally, attending a special assembly with our own school WAFTAs (BAFTAs). What an exciting day. Who knew that many years ago there was only one program a day for children… in black and white! Some of us were very surprised to learn that!

Today we celebrated 100 years of the BBC. Y1/2 learned about the Top of the Pops and even danced like Pan’s People. I’m sure you’ll agree that they all look amazing!

This afternoon, KS1 went on a nature walk around our beautiful school grounds looking for signs of autumn. We spotted leaves (gold, yellow, orange, red, brown), fallen leaves, berries, apples growing, fungus… The children loved their outdoor learning.

In class this week, we were learning about hieroglyphs and created some presentations to display our research.

Today we have had the visit from the School Nurse, who taught the children about how to wash their hands properly. They even got to use a special ‘germ’ potion tones if they could wash the germs off!

We have been learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot. As part of this, we worked together to make Sukkahs, the huts that Jewish people build during Sukkot.

We have some amazing portrait artists in KS1.
