Year 1 and 2 trip to the London Aquarium

/in /by

The Year 1 and 2 children went to an exciting trip to the London Aquarium, some of the children experienced being on a train for the first time and were very thrilled! Upon arrival the children had a workshop which cross curricular linked their science, geography and art topics. They also discussed the wonders of Allah’s creation by seeing sea life creatures who had various different exotic colours and design. The children really enjoyed this trip and a particular highlight was the penguins and star fish pond where the children were able to hold them!

Following from the workshops that the Year 5 and 6 children experienced  with the staff from Metro Bank, they were invited to visit the Cheapside branch in the City of London.

The Metro bank ran workshops with our Year 5 and 6 children. They learnt about how the bank takes care of money and how to manage their own money e.g. through budgeting and saving.  The last workshop will be a visit to the bank where children will see the different kind of jobs that are done and see an actual vault where money and safety deposit boxes are held!

 

 

 

 

 

KS1 Shopping centre-Money week

/in /by

For Maths week, our class made maths hats, explored various aspects of the wonders of Maths and focused on Money. We culminated the theme week with a usual ks1 epic style dramatic role play. The children created their own shopping centre. We role-played real life scenarios like lining up at the bank, saving money ,calculating profit, getting money from the bank and spending money. The children calculated their change and ‘bought’ various items. The shop owners bought their own toys and other household things from home to use in the role play. Well done to all the children who took part!

 

Year 3 and 4 Tuck shop

/in /by

As part of year 3 and 4’s design and technology project, the children designed and made their own healthy sandwich snack. On Wednesday, we turned our classroom into a sandwich tuck shop and sold all the products to the rest of the school. We sold each sandwich for 20p and we managed to raise an amazing amount of £16!!!
