Trip to Weymouth Beach to investigate seaside holidays of the past
We’ve had a fantastic day today! We went on a photo hunt using modern and photographs taken in the past of Weymouth to identify similarities and differences between seaside holidays now and in the past. We saw a bathing machine which was used by Victorians to take them into the sea to bathe and looked at the jubilee clock which commemorates Queen Victoria’s jubilee. The children went on the carousel which Victorians would have also enjoyed. The children had a lovely shady lunch then an ice cream / lolly for pudding. The children loved playing in the sand and most got pretty wet splashing in the sea! We also had a safety talk from the RNLI lifeguards. On the way back to the bus, we looked at the fantastic sand sculpture of the Queen.
I’m sure the children will be tired tonight… it’s been a busy day. They all represented the school and themselves so well. We had a number of people stop to ask what they were doing and whether they were having a good day.
Year 1 Science Enrichment at Thomas Hardye School - 7th June
We have had THE best trip to Thomas Hardye for our Science Enrichment trip. Miss Penguilly was so inspiring! We pretended we were going to the moon and made our own rockets which launched into the air. She showed us how rocket fuel worked which created a huge explosion. We then became detectives to see which planet we landed on, she did this by spraying different solutions into a clear flame. The flame changed colour depending on which planet we were on. We then made slime! Miss Penguilly then did and experiment mixing two cold liquids which reacted and foam shot up towards the ceiling (and stained the wall!). Later, she told us that we had ru n out of fuel so had to use a jelly baby to power the rocket! She melted a powder and popped in the jelly baby which immediately furiously burnt.
The children were so enthusiastic and full of knowledge... words from the children are...
ace...amazing....Best day ever...epic!
Thank you so much to our parent helpers for transporting children. We would not have been able to go without them.
Parents, please check Tapestry for full set of photos and videos.
