5th Class
Mr. Early's 5th Class
5th class have settled back well into school life this September. We had two trips to St Anne’s Park. Firstly we took part in the community archaeological dig where we learned all about the history of the park. We then visited the astro pitch for a fantastic game of football which ended in a penalty shoot out. 5th class are also taking part in a cycling safety programme every Thursday.
Ms. Good's 5th Class
The boys in 5th class used their Chromecast books to research some facts about plants. We were learning about a large variety of plants including cacti, lily pads, bonsai trees, and plants that have changed the world we live in today. The boys also researched cotton plants, olive trees, cocoa pods and coffee trees. Some boys created word documents with this information while others created short powerpoints, Who knew the largest succulent tree in the world was the African Baobab!
Community Excavation of St. Anne’s House
The boys in 5th class attended the community excavation of the old Guinness Mansion located in St. Anne’s Park. We had a wonderful host, Ceri, who told us all about the old house from when it was built, to when it burned down and when it was later demolished by the council. We were shown many artefacts including gasmasks, smoking pipes, whiskey bottles, oil lamps, tiles from the picture gallery and Portland stone. The boys asked really good questions about the site and we had a fantastic afternoon at the excavation. The boys were so well behaved and an absolute credit to themselves. Well done boys!
