Weekly Update - 21.11.24
Posted: Nov 21, 2024 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hello,
A slightly shorter but equally busy and exciting week in UKS2!
We are still on with our non-chronological reports about the role of women during WW2 in English and learning about fractions in maths.
Mrs Harris delivered another important assembly this week from the NSPCC and reminded children how to stay safe and speak out.
On Wednesday afternoon, the children in UKS2 opened their own and Rufford Park's very first "living museum" as part of our study of WW2. Children were encouraged to bring in any WW2 memorabilia that they have or to present information about their family members from this time and share how they were affected by the war.
We had a wide range of artefacts sent in including:
- Medals
- Letters/Diaries
- Photographs
- Military uniform items
- Ration books/Home Front memorabilia
- Lots of other interesting WW2 artefacts!
Have a look below at some of the amazing artefacts.
Mr Cooke also delivered a special presentation to the children in UKS2 on Thursday morning as his own living museum exhibit where he spoke to the children about his grandfather and read his first hand account of his experiences in the army during WW2!
Have a lovely long weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)
