History Chronology​​​​​​

We used the VR headsets to look at pictures of Queen Victoria and Victorian schools and role played with Victorian schools with our Year 5 friends. 


Science Working Scientifically

Children worked hard in Year 1 to investigate foot lengths and heights to find out if a larger foot size meant that you were taller. The children made predictions and comparisons by observing and then measuring to find out if their predictions were correct. 

Science classifying common animals with feathers, scales, fur and hair.
