Children in Rhine Class were challenged to build their own pyramid (virtually) thinking about the location, materials, size and workforce. It also had to be finished before the king died.

Read MoreMoon Poetry
Published 08/12/21As part of our topic on Great & Ghastly Events we looked at the First Landing on the Moon in 1969.
Inspired by our venture into the space dome we learnt about the race to space and the first moon walk.
We then created our own poems called 'Six Ways to Look at the Moon' showing off our learning on metaphors, power of 3, alliteration and expanded noun phrases.
Hope you enjoy reading them.
Read MoreA trip to Shepton Mallet Prison
Published 05/12/21Last week, Rhine class had a truly immersive experience with a visit to Shepton Mallet Prison to support their learning on crime and punishment through the ages, law and the justice system.
The day included a guided tour of the prison and an ’escape the cell‘ challenge. The children were curious to learn about the past and this was reflected in their mature and thoughtful questions.
A few pictures from the day.
Read MoreA Special Visitor
Published 24/11/21Rhine Class were excited to welcome a very special visitor - a Barrister - to help them learn more about the legal system in England.
The children listened intently to the explanation of the Court trial process and the role of a Barrister, asked thoughtful questions and were inspired by the message, that anyone can be a Barrister, you just need to really want to do it.
There was then the opportunity to try on the gown and wig. Some distinguished potential Barristers!
Read MoreGreat and Ghastly Events
Published 09/11/21Rhine Class have had an amazing day immersed in their new topic, ‘Great & Ghastly Events.’ Each week they will study an event & today was Guy Fawkes Night.
They learnt how Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and that Guy Fawkes was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords.
The day included a rotation of activities: analysing sources of evidence to find out more about the plot and plotters, learning by heart the traditional Bonfire Rhyme, creating fireworks in a jar (don’t worry very safe!) firework art, and code breaking.
