Year 6 at Kew Bridge

Year 6 visited Kew Bridge to investigate the water quality and wildlife in the river Thames.
Did you know the river Thames is the world's cleanest urban river?

Outward Bound - Lake District

From 22nd - 26th April, Year 6 went on a Residential visit to Outward Bound Howtown Centre in the Lake District. We stayed in dormitory rooms with bunks and an en suite bathroom near the Ullswater Lake and spent our days taking part in outdoor adventure activities. We went gorge walking, canoeing, mountaineering, did rock climbing, caving and lots more. It was a great experience for all involved and everyone has come back with their own stories and adventures to tell.

Natural History Museum

In Year 3 we have been learning about rocks and soils in Science. On 5th March we went to the Natural History Museum as part of this topic. We visited the rocks and minerals exhibit and filled in a worksheet with information we gathered from the displays. Afterwards we walked around other parts of the museum such as the dinosaur section.

Imperial War Museum

In Year 5, we have been learning about World War II in history and on 3rd October we went to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire as part of this topic. We had a workshop about what it would be like to be a home guard and the measures the public had to take during war time such as learning evacuation procedures and how to use a gas mask. Afterwards we went over to the hanger to look at all the different planes and army vehicles there.

Year 2 at the London Aquarium

We have been reading The Whale and the Snail book in class and on the 27th September, we visited the London Aquarium as part of this topic. We looked at the sea creatures and connected them to characters in the book. We also took pictures of our journey and visit, from leaving school to when we returned.

Mission X

Throughout the last term 30 Year 5 children have attended a series of very exciting science workshops at Eastlea Community School. These are part of the 'Mission X' program, which allows children to explore life as an astronaut. The children have had a chance to take part in a range of fascinating activities such as 'fitness in space', nutritional testing and designing and building rockets.
