Time and Tide Museum

The Sparrows and Robins had a swashbuckling adventure at the Time and Tide Museum.  Dressed as buccaneers, they sailed the high seas towards Great Yarmouth, and had a fun-filled day learning about all things piratical.  Shiver me timbers!!!

Kentwell Tudor Recreation

On one of the warmest days on record in June, Years 5 and 6 were transported back to the year 1553 to find out about life in Tudor England.

The children got to grips with old English language and have learnt an awful lot about Tudor arts, crafts and everyday life. Thank you so much to all the staff for taking them: Mrs Firman, Ms Hewitt, Mrs Winter, Ms Peers, Mrs Knight and Miss Goidchild.

Wonderdome

In June, we were extremely excited to welcome the Wonderdome Planetarium to our Federation.

This provided a fantastic opportunity for all children to learn about the Solar System in an immersive and engaging way. 

This special event was funded through a generous donation from Scottish Power Renewables, and we are very grateful for their support. 

The children loved the experience, with Robin Class reporting that they had ‘flown to the moon’ and ‘been into space to see the planets!’

Visit to Old Hall Farm

Year 1 and Reception from Preston and Saxlingham have had a lovely visit to Old Hall Farm where we have watched the cows being milked, and met sheep, goats, chickens and Suffolk Punch horses. What a lot of fantastic farming facts we have learnt! Many thanks to all the staff for taking the children and to Old Hall Farm for welcoming us.

Visit from English Touring Opera

All Key Stage 2 Classes were treated to a musical extravaganza courtesy of the English Touring Opera.  We had all practised songs for the performance of Ada and the Code Crusader so that there could be audience participation.  Staff and pupils have all  reported that the performance was engaging and thoroughly enjoyable, and we are so grateful to FOPPS and FOSS for supporting this event.

Kingfisher Class visit to Tyrrel's Wood

Kingfisher class visited Tyrrel’s Wood to conduct geography fieldwork.  We explored the woodlands identifying physical features and investigating how the woodlands are used.

British Science Week

Following on From British Science Week, Robin Class and Sparrow Class visited Old Hall Farm. As well as meeting lots of different animals, and learning about how to care for them, they also learnt some of the Science involved with farming.  Many thanks to Ms Ladbrooke for organising this.
