This week we have been studying ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. It’s a great narrative poem that was written in 1906 and tells a tale of love, death and revenge. Here is a link to an animated version that we watched at school.
For homework this week I will be asking the children to learn a poem (of their choosing) ‘off by heart’ to perform in school. We will hopefully record these as well and I hope post them here soon. Watch this space!!
Wow! Well done one of our talented Year 6 students. The children’s homework over half term was to put together a presentation on British Values. I received this (via our fabulous secretary) before we have even resumed our timetable for the week.
This week in our topic lessons we will be learning about Stonehenge and the history of this amazing stone age monument. Here are some great links to find out more about the Bronze age and Stonehenge itself.

Wow!! One of our children even made a film featuring a lego presenter! Unfortunately I can’t upload the whole video at the moment, but here are some stills from it – good work!
Here are two more fabulous presentations about Skara Brae. I’m so impressed and pleased how much this has grabbed our children’s imagination.
Here are some more amazing examples of creatively presented homework by Class Jacob. I think you’ll agree that the children have worked incredibly hard to produce some fantastic results. From models made of bits of garden path, animal bones, moss and clay to intricately constructed ‘rainbow lollipop-stick information holders’, they really have embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.
Well, what a fantastic response to Class Jacob’s homework this week. The brief was to research and present information about the Stone Age settlement of Skara Brae in the Orkney islands. The only stipulation was to be as creative as possible. Please find attached below two powerpoints made by the children.
Ask your children about their topic this term. Here are some pictures of Skara Brae in the Orkneys. They should be able to enlighten you further …
In our topic we are studying the Indus Valley Civilisation. Here is a brief introduction by a very fast talking expert … (ellipsis)
