Tudor history topic October 2019
This term we are learning all about Henry VIII and his wives. They had a terrible time, all 6 of them! Year 2 and 3 have been using non fiction books and the internet to search for information. They painted portraits of themselves in tudor dress. Have a look in the classroom if you haven't seen the display of portraits, tudor roses and information the children have found out.

We had a visit from the Fire Service and they explained how fire and smoke alarms work, how to test them and let us hear what they sound like. We discussed different scenarios and what we would do in them. This involved phoning 999, what we would say about our emergency and practising crawling through smoke. We all had a go with the hose, listened to the siren and looked at all the different equipment.
Father Tom came today to talk to us all about Lent. He asked us some questions, showed us how to make origami crosses and put ashes on our head to mark the beginning of Lent.
