Year 3 recently spent a fabulous day learning about life in Roman times. They discovered unusual facts about Roman medicine and surgery and tried some typical Roman food – not to everyone’s taste.
They are now looking forward to their trip to Segedunum on April 5th.
The Vikings truly came to life for our Y4 children on Friday when they were visited by two ‘real’ Vikings for the day.
They were taught how to make real Viking style food, played games, had hands on experience with Viking artefacts and much, much more.
The children were invited to dress for the occasion and in school they had made shields and broaches ready for the day.
A great day was had by all!
Our children and staff looked very festive this morning as they came together for the final assembly of 2016.
It was a special occasion for one of our members of staff, who is sadly retiring today too. Children from each year group presented Mr McGuigan with cards. He has been teaching at Mortimer Primary School for 28 years and will be very much missed from our teaching staff.
Here are some photos from the Y3 Christmas party.
Well done to our Y3/4 staff and children after their fantastic Christmas show this week. They performed two fabulous shows this week for family and friends, the feedback the school received was excellent and we are very proud of you all.
Recently, some of our Y6 children visited the Open Zone @ The Word and sampled some of the technology available to enhance our computing curriculum.
The children created a documentary about The Victorians, which they had been learning about in history.
As mentioned in an earlier post, all of our Y5 children have been creating Christmas books retelling the story of the Nativity for reception children, which can be kept as a special keepsake.
This project takes part over a number of weeks and involves the children meeting each other, learning a little about each other and spending time sharing stories. It is a lovely link between some of our older and younger children and is enjoyed by all.
We have also been so pleased with the feedback from parents, here are just a few of the comments we have received.
“The book created for Finely is lovely – read it tonight and he loves it. It’s a great idea.”
“I absolutely love the book Theo brought home tonight, which had been written by one of the older children! It made me have a little tear. Theo is so happy with it and will treasure it forever. I absolutely love the idea of the older children sharing work and also reading to reception children.”
Check out the fun at Y5’s Christmas party today!
