Term 2 Week 2
13th November 2018
The individual classes took part in a series of workshops today, as part of our whole school focus on the Armistice and the end of World War 1. The workshops involving drama and poetry - entitled 'Poppies and Poetry' were then shown to the whole school. Nightingales focus was the Battle of the Somme. They performed some emotive poetry based on the events surrounding the battle.
Term 2
Nightingales have had an amazing first week back at school learning about World War 1 and hope to be able to share some of their work next Friday.
They have also been lucky enough to take part in a murder investigation at South Wilts Grammar School. A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Mrs Penwarden who looked after us for the afternoon. A fanatstic opportunity which the children really enjoyed.
This term the children will be improving their football skills during PE - photographs to follow.
