World War One Talk and Remembrance

On Remembrance Day, Jarvis from Fadmoor came in and gave a very interesting talk to the juniors about his families experiences in the war and his knowledge of WW1.

He wore a traditional uniform which would have been worn in the trenches. He also brought some equipment from the war. This included: a rifle, bayonet, fold out bed, German bugle and rucksack sort of thing for carrying everything else, such as bullets and trench spade. Jarvis also told us about history in the wars and showed us their medals and photos.

I learnt about how they fired their rifles, reloaded and fixed bayonets, in case of close combat.

He joined us at the war memorial where he blew a whistle to start and finish the 2 minutes silence. It was very moving. The whistle was used at the battle of the Somme.

Our play is called stable manners it is a really nice and funny play.

So far we have really enjoyed learning everything about it and we cant wait to do it for real.

 

 

Duncombe Park-the gardens

The whole school went to Duncombe Park on the 5th of November for a school trip. At Duncombe Park we went to the gardens it was very silent, the only thing that you could hear was the rain dripping on the leafs and the birds tweeting calmly.

We walked to a temple that was old and crumbeling. At the temple was IMGA0913an amazing view, it was great. There was a flowing river at the bottom and a hill of orange and green trees making there way up. We also saw a pineapple house a pineapple house is where you grow pineapples. They did this becase they were very exspensive they use to give them to friend and family to display at parties.

Cam Models !

Our cam models are improving by the minute. Some people have already finished them and love playing with them they are very cool.

Although there was some trouble and hard work to make them they are finally being finished. 🙂

We started with looking at some models that already existed then designed some of our own. Everyone chose a final design to make and we began to make them. Different people decided to use a range of materials but they all look great.
