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. ![]()

Running
Our weekly morning Running club starts bright and early among the beautiful open spaces of Hurlingham Park. We apply interval training techniques around a 150-metre circular track on the Astroturf. This varies from short 50-metre sprints to longer distances of up to 600 metres, with a small break in between laps. It is a great way to get the children’s stamina up to the demands of cross-country running. The motivating thing about interval training is there is always a light at the end of the tunnel as the finish line is never far from sight! It is also a real bonding experience for the children, who invariably cheer each other on to the very end.
