Year 5: Stone, Bronze and Iron Age - October 2023
During this history topic, Year 5 learnt all about the early homosapiens and cavemen, discussing the development of metals and the beginning and end of the Celts. The children wrote non-chronological reports about the daily lives of Celts, linking it to their settlements, agriculture, beliefs and religion. Check out the photos of Year 5 organising these prehistoric events on a world history timeline...
Year 2: The Battle of Hastings - January 2024

Year 6: D-Day - May 2024
Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about D-Day as part of the World War Two celebration day. We created bunting, budgeted troop equipment and made copper medals for the 80th Anniversary. The children all looked great too!
Year 3: Victorian School - June 2024
Year 3 had a HORRIBLE day at George Street Chapel on our school trip! Victorian school was tough and we had to do all the washing and hang it up with our home made pegs. We learnt about how Victorian children were up at 4am and had to work long days at school and then in the mill. We did some writing with quill pens and made some peg dolls, then worked as a team to make a huge jigsaw.
Fortunately, we were allowed to use the modern toilets and didn’t have to go on Tommy’s bucket!
A big thank you to the chapel staff and of course, the lovely Mrs Roebuck who gave up her time to come with us.
Reception: Toys from the Past Topic - November 2024
For our 'Toys' topic, the children have been exploring a range of old and new toys. They brought in their favourite toys from home to show their friends and talk about why they like playing with them!

Year 3 have been learning about the Ancient Egyptian religion and their belief in the afterlife. We followed instructions to carry out the mummification process in our drama activity.
Year 4: Tudor Houses - March 2025
As part of our Tudor topic, we have enjoyed looking into the features of a real Tudor House. We looked at both rich and poor houses. The children enjoyed finding out a lot of interesting facts about how they were made, and what they did and did not contain inside. We all had a go at making our own representation of a Tudor House at home.
Year 3: DEVA Roman Experience - March 2025
Year 3 had an amazing time visiting the DEVA Experience in Chester during our Roaming Romans topic. The children developed their knowledge and understanding of how the Romans influenced life in Britain. Our favourite part of the day was marching through Chester as Roman Soldiers!
Year 5: Mayan Social Structure - September 2025
The children were acting out the different social classes of the Mayan times. King, nobles and priests, scholars, merchants and artisans, farmers and the laborers and slaves.

As part of their WW1 History topic, Year 6 were tasked with a home learning activity, where they created their own poppies. We had children baking, Lego poppies, crochet poppies and many more! Some children from Year 6 have also been around the local area putting up signs of local soldiers who lost their lives in WW1.
Year 4: Anglo Saxon Period Timelines - October 2025
Today, we looked at a timeline to show the different events that happened during the Anglo-Saxon period. We enjoyed working together in groups to talk about what we had learned. Once we had finished, we used the timeline to answer a range of questions and show our understanding.
