On Wednesday 2nd October our Year 6 Larks class went on a trip to The Holocaust Center to see 'The Journey', in support of their current topic - World War 2. The interactive museum took the children into the life of a Jewish child living in Berlin at the start of the war and proved to be a very thought provoking and enjoyable day. The children learnt a great deal of historical facts balanced with exploring sensitive feelings.The children behaved impeccably, used some fantastic vocabulary in posing some brilliant questions and showed incredible empathy and understanding. What a fantastic day!

Building Part 4

The front entrance is really starting to look great. The scaffolding has come down and windows are going in.

The Year 6 classroom walls are up, as is the scaffolding in preparation for the roof.

The ground work is done and the foundations are down for the Year 1 classroom.
