Children from Nursery through to Year 6 have listened to talks, watched powerpoints and listened to reflective music all based around the theme of Remembrance Sunday.

Today Year 3 and 4 visited the Hancock Museum in Newcastle as part of our work on Ancient Greece.
We all took part in a workshop about Greek art and then we got to create some of our own. Our focus was on the vases they had which told stories of life in Greece or mythical stories. We could only use the colours orange and black.
We also had time to explore the rest of the museum and loved all of the animals and artefacts we saw. Everyone had a really enjoyable day. Have a look at our photographs below.
