Hedgehog visit to Pizza Express

Hedgehog class had a very busy and interesting morning at the Forum in Norwich. Firstly, they visited Pizza Express to make pizzas and dough balls and to sample a variety of foods, some were more popular than others! Next, the class  went to the Norfolk Heritage Centre and examined some fascinating historical documents and photographs relating to the local area. They finished by spending some time in Children’s Library. Thank you very much to all our hosts.

Aim High Maths Day

A group of Year 4 and Year 5 mathematicians participated in an AIM High Maths Day at Bluebell Primary School in Norwich.

The maths specialist running this event was Hazel Large. The focus of the day was predominately on problem solving and using and applying mathematics. The children also had opportunities to work collaboratively with game playing as well as time for thinking, reasoning and communicating mathematically.

Well done to all the children who represented the school and thank you to Mrs Richardson for supporting them.

Hedgehogs' Ancient Egyptian Museum

Learning Through Landscapes

Owls' visit to Norwich Cathedral

In September 2024, Owl Class had a fantastic morning at Norwich Cathedral, exploring the building and finding out about signs and symbols of God’s love.  We learned about the history of the cathedral, including the importance of the cathedra (Bishop’s throne).

Mrs Smith and Mr Walker were very impressed with the children’s questions and responses.

Hedgehog Roman Day

In September 2024, the children in Hedgehog class arrived at the marching camp, met Julius Marcellinus, and learnt about the equipment of a Roman legionary.

We handled camp equipment and tried on legionary armour. We experienced camp jobs, played Roman games and sampled some ‘delicious’ Roman hardtack and a two-thousand-year-old lentil stew recipe.

In the afternoon, we handled a range of authentic Roman artefacts and tried to work out what they were and who they could have belonged to. We finished the day with authentic legionary training, learning how to march with a shield.
