Roe Class

Roe Class had a wonderful time at Tiverton museum on Tuesday. We discovered what Victorian home life was like. They were amazed to hear that homes had no bathrooms! They took turns to sit in the tin bath, but thought showers and their baths at home were much better.
We made peg dolls and dressed up as Victorian school children. The children decided school life long ago was not as good as today!

Little Angels

This week the children have loved learning about imagination, creativity and getting stuck into sensory activities. Based around our book of focus “we are going on a bear hunt” by Michael Rosen & Helen Oxenbury. We have had great fun exploring the village on our Bear hunt walk, making rice cake bear faces, exploring habitats and discovering the different types of bears!

Wanted!

If anyone has any unwanted outdoor toys we would be very happy to take them off your hands for the KS1 playground. Construction vehicles are especially welcome - diggers, dumpers etc
