Dictionaries presented by our local Rotary Club

Mrs Burroughes visited school on Monday 4th November, to present dictionaries to our Year 5 children, on behalf of the Rotary Club. The children were very happy to have them and it was lovely that Mrs Burroughes could share some memories of her children and grandchildren attending Bressingham School. We are very grateful to Mrs Burroughes and Rotary Club for these gifts.

Great Yarmouth- Tuesday 5th June 2018

In Geography, we are finding out about a different place in the UK and it is Great Yarmouth, a large coastal town. Today we visited, to find out more, by carrying out a survey of land use, and completing shopping and leisure surveys with people we met there. We can compare these results with those we collect in Bressingham, using our Statistics Maths skills...

Also we visited the Tolhouse Museum, which is a former gaol, from hundreds of years ago. Here we found out more about crime and punishment in the 17th and 18th centuries- a topic we found out about earlier in the year.

Finally, we achieved some of our 100 memorable events, as we travelled by public transport and jumped over waves in the sea. The travelling was made more memorable by the fact that we missed our connecting train from Norwich to Yarmouth and had to wait for an hour at Norwich Station, entertaining ourselves with everything from planning imaginary journeys using timetable information to doing word searches and even making up a rap about it!

Owl Visit-The Raptor Trust- Wednesday 23rd May 2018

We have been finding out about raptors and particularly owls, linked to reading Skellig by David Almond: we are collecting information, ready to write some non-chronological reports about Owls or Raptors, to make a class book. To bring this to life, we have been very lucky to have a visit from the Raptor Trust, bringing a Little Owl and an Indian Eagle Owl.

A wonderful experience for us all, to be with these amazing animals...

A very memorable event...

First hand experience of World war 2

Today, Mr Mitchell, one of our Grandads, visited to answer our (many) questions about World War 2. he had lived in London at the time and was briefly evacuated to Essex. He told us some information about the war and some individual stories about himself and people he knew in those times. It was truly fascinating and we very much enjoyed listening. Thank you, Mr Mitchell.

Independent research- finding out about World War 2

Having completed a more guided piece of work, we have been investigating our own questions about World War 2, trying to use at least two sources of information to support our facts and presenting our work clearly. Here are a few examples...

Then we went around the classroom to read one another's findings and give feedback about the information and how it was presented...

Some great independent work and thoughtful comments. Fabulous work from Kestrels...
