We have had some exciting history lessons across the school this term.  
Year 1 have been learning about toys. Last week, they had a visit from the ‘History off the Page’ travelling toy museum. The children explored old toys and had the opportunity to make toys such as peg dolls, puppets, clay animals, a cup and ball, hook a fish or a spinner. 
Year 2 have been learning the space race. They have enjoyed finding out about which country won the space race and the astronauts that took part in the missions.  
Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age. The children have been learning about the tools used for hunting and how early humans told stories through cave paintings. Year 3 created their own cave paintings.  
Year 4 have enjoyed learning about the Anglo-Saxons. They have created information boards about Sutton Hoo, exploring the fascinating Anglo-Saxon burial site and its artifacts, including the famous helmet and ship burial. 
Year 5’s history topic is World War 1; they have learned about trench warfare on the Western Front and how the war expanded to a global conflict.  
Year 6 have been learning about World War II. They have learned about the bloodiest battles on the Western Front and had thoughtful reflections on bravery and resilience during wartime. ​
