Portals
Year 4 had an amazing school trip to the Natural History Museum. When we arrived, we went to the ‘Emergency! Earthquakes and volcanoes’ workshop. The scientists had gone missing so Year 4 heroically stepped in to save Volcano Town from certain doom. However, we also wrecked part of it to see how a seismometer works. Destruction in the name of science! We also experienced an earthquake, rode an escalator through the centre of the Earth, learned even more about the different types of volcanoes and actively learned using as many of the interactive displays as possible. ![]()

Perfect Puzzlers
The Perfect Puzzlers club takes place on Tuesday afternoons. It is a small, friendly club offered to children from Year 1 to Year 6 by invitation only. The sessions usually start with an oral game and we tend to work in pairs, as well as completing puzzles individually. During the sessions, children play a variety of games to exercise their memory. They have fun with word puzzles, all of which are designed to improve spelling and an understanding of the formation and use of words. Children also complete number puzzles and play games that involve dexterity and fine motor skills. There are lots of stickers and prizes to win to keep them motivated.
