Educational Visits

Year 4 visited The British Library to take part in a workshop called ‘Map your world’. The children developed their understanding on the purpose and styles of different maps. Children also learnt about the biggest and the smallest maps in the world. Finally, children participated in several activities which aided their understanding on the importance of perspective when drawing and reading their own maps.

Year 5 had the opportunity to visit a Hindu Temple. This was part of our Religion unit where we learnt about other faiths (Hinduism). The trip was very informative and built on our knowledge of Hinduism. We were also very privileged to have a priest at the temple answer our questions, as well as give us a tour of the Temple.

Year 5 visited the local library, here we had the opportunity to listen to a librarian read a story to us. We then borrowed books to take home. We love reading and we are grateful for this termly opportunity.
