This week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a wonderful learning experience when Chertsey Museum visited our school to lead a special workshop all about toys from the past.

The children were fascinated as they explored a range of old and new toys, discovering how playtime has changed over the years. They loved handling real historical toys and comparing them with the ones they play with today. From spinning tops and cup-and-ball games to teddy bears and clockwork animals, every item sparked curiosity and excitement.

Our pupils asked thoughtful questions, shared their own experiences, and were eager to learn about the materials, mechanisms, and history behind each toy. The hands-on activities were a particular highlight, giving the children a chance to explore and play just like children would have many years ago.

The visit brought our topic to life and helped deepen the children’s understanding of how toys have developed over time. A huge thank-you to Chertsey Museum for such an engaging and memorable workshop!

To enhance our learning in RE about the Islam religion, the children in Year 2 visited Masjid Al Hussaini in Northolt. 

At the Mosque, the children respectfully took off their shoes and visited one of the huge prayer halls. They learnt about the Imam, the place and rules for prayer and admired the huge dome. The children then visited the classroom, where children learn Quran and Arabic during the weekends.   

Last Friday, there was a sea of yellow in the school as we marked BBC Children In Need and World Children's Day. There were lots of fun activities in class and children attended assemblies about Children In Need. Some children even got to meet Pudsey himself at the local Asda store. We also raised money for Children In Need and raised a total of:

£368.34

Thank you to everyone who donated for such a worthy cause.

The Year 2 children had a fantastic time at their tennis taster session! They really enjoyed getting involved in a variety of fun games and activities while learning new tennis skills. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm, teamwork and confidence grow throughout the session.

Well done, Year 2!
