Year 2 Geography Day!

Yesterday, Year 2 spent the day learning about two locations. The first was the city of Southampton. We found out all about the city and we even conducted a traffic survey outside of school. We found that there were more vehicles during school drop off times than during the school day.

We also looked at Jinja in Uganda. We learned that it is the source of the River Nile. Jinja has many similarities to Southampton, including that they are both ports and have rivers running through them.

In the afternoon we had a very special visitor on the computer! We had a video call with a man called Baker who lives in Jinja, Uganda. He answered all of our questions and told us all about what it is like to live there.

We had a great day!

YR Zoolab Visit

The children in Year R were very lucky to have Anna from Zoolab come to visit. They were introduced to Gary the Giant African Snail, a Giant Cockroach, Buttercup the tarantula, Cheese the millipede and Dolly the snake. Anna taught the children about each of the minibeasts and introduced each of them, including a reptile! She then allowed the children to handle each of the creatures if they wanted or encouraged a wave if they weren't feeling quite brave enough. A big Thank you to Anna for such an exciting and interesting visit.

Southampton's Poet Laureate visits Y4

Cedar Class Scooter Training

Jenny from the SUSTRANS charity came to Year 1 on Wednesday to give the children some scooter training! They had a brilliant time! Unfortunately the bad weather meant that Willow Class were unable to complete their training. However, Jenny has kindly offered to come back in May to finish their scooter training!
