Welcome to Blue Class September 2022 - July 2023
January 2023
Blue class are starting to learn about Robert Burns in preparation for Burn’s Night. We made the Scottish dessert of Cranachan using oats, double cream, honey and raspberries. We had a great time making it and really enjoyed eating it too!
Blue class has had a lovely week using the new Trim trail.
The children from Blue class have been listening to a range of songs by ABBA. We performed the song Mamma Mia with glockenspiel accompaniment.
Blue Class had a fantastic Anglo-Saxon day at Carymoor Environmental Centre on Tuesday 4th October. After meeting our workshop leader Nat, we shared our knowledge about the Anglo Saxons and made a human timeline. It was then time for dressing up as Anglo Saxons. We went outside and ground barley using a saddle quern stone and a rotary quern stone. The next activity was completing a multiple choice orienteering quiz in groups. We had a go at weaving plates with strips of willow which was quite tricky. After lunch, we did a runes treasure hunt and we had to decode the letters. The letters spelt the words ‘GOLD COINS’ and Nat kindly rewarded the children with chocolate coins for their efforts. Before playing some Anglo Saxon games, we did an animal footprint trail around the field. The largest footprints belonged to an animal called the auroch which is now extinct. We all had a great day. Thank you to Mr Lancaster and Mrs Baggridge for supporting us on our visit.
