Earthquakes Hit Year 4!, by Mr Murray

Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 3:31pm

Dear all,

Please see our images to see how we started off our Geography work. The topic is does the earth shake,rattle and roll? In order to gain some understanding we built small shelter/house replicas out of cocktail sticks and sweets. Then we tested these on a bed of jelly to see which shapes worked the best. An "earthquake" hit the classroom in order to see the reaction of the children to the devastation caused.

Please see our photograps and we hope you enjoy them as mucuh as we enjoyed doing it!

Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan

Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am

On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.

We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!
