Y6 Visit to York Castle Museum
21 December 2017
On Tuesday 19th December Y6 visited the Castle Museum in York. This was linked to History work on WW1 and English work on 'A Christmas Carol'. The children explored the WW1 exhibits and followed the lives of several real characters through WW1. Leighlah tried applying a bandage to Marley's arm. The children asked the curator lots of questions about the artifacts on display linked to WW1. They then visited the Victorian street when several children took part in the retelling of 'A Christmas Carol'. Following this the children had a one hour workshop on how to make a Morse code machine, using their skills from science to construct a circuit that included a buzzer. We all had a great day at the museum.

The actors in Y2 were line perfect, with the narrators doing a fabulous job of informing the audience of what was happening in each scene. Each child gave a superb performance.

KS2 invited parents and family to their Carol service in St Mary's Church. The following children all did readings to tell the story of Christmas: Shannon Thornton, Leighlah Edwards, Ellie Howden, Maddison Gibbs, William Jackson, Violet Sykes, Hollie Dobbie, Callum Poole and Rihanna Roberts. Dylan Cater (Y6) did a fantastic job with the technical side of the service - ensuring the right music at the right time. The event was well attended and judging by the comments at the end of the service, everyone enjoyed it. The school thanks the Rev Gallagher for allowing us to perform in the church. A great way to celebrate Christmas.
