Our school celebrated it’s 50th birthday today. Classes had been given a decade to focus on for the birthday celebrations. We have been learning all about the 1990’s. We learned about the channel tunnel which opened in 1994. We had a team working challenge – to create a map to help us recognise where the channel tunnel is.
On Tuesday, we were learning about keeping safe on bonfire night. We made posters to remind us, and we had a visit from firefighter Steel. He talked to us about how to keep ourselves and others safe. We even had a chance to try on his helmet – it was very heavy. Thank you Mr Steel for coming into our class to see us.
Today we had a very busy classroom with lots visitors joining in our activities. As the first Harry Potter book was published in 1997, we were making magical Harry Potter wands.
We also made our own versions of Mr Potato Head from the original Toy Story film which was also released in 1996.
We used some cardboard tubes, some fabric and a train set for problem solving. Our aim was to set up the train tracks through the ‘tunnel’.
We also set up a mini class museum with some items from the 1990’s.
We all enjoyed our visit to the ice-cream van after break time – it was great!
Thank you to everyone who came along to support us today. We had a lovely time.
