Educational Visits

Year 1 enjoyed a visit to the Army Museum where we made tents for toy soldiers using different materials to keep them dry.

Year 1 and Year 6 enjoyed a joint educational visit to West Ham Park for a fun Geography workshop, making and following compasses.

​​Last Thursday, 15th November, selected year 6 pupils, who are studying War Horse in English, visited the National Theatre in order to to experience the stage production of the book. Pupils thoroughly enjoyed War Horse and are currently using the experience in order to write critical reviews of the play.

Blitz Detectives! We visited West Ham Park and discovered how the East End of London was affected during WW2. This had a huge impact on people's lives, evacuees left their families behind and were sent to the countryside, people had to ration their food supply and many houses and buildings were destroyed.

 Whilst in Rome we bumped into Fr Dominic who was recording for his BBC Essex Radio show. He asked us about our time in Rome. Listen here to the interview.

We arrived in Rome and headed straight to the Bede College. We celebrated mass together and enjoyed refreshments afterwards in the garden of the college with some of the student priests.

The children in year 3 and 4 went to the grand Royal Albert hall and took part in the Primary Proms. They were engaged in the orchestras performing and learnt about instruments such as the trombone and the trumpet all in the brass family. The choir was a highlight as they sung contemporary songs that we all enjoyed singing along to.

Year 5 had the opportunity to go on a pilgrimage to Walsingham along with pupils from St. Joachim's. Although it was a long day; the children had a fun time learning about history of Walsingham, having a beautiful mass and ending the day with a walk down Pilgrim's way.

Year 4 visited the Tower of London on Wednesday 19th September 2018. They visited the White Tower, The Crown Jewels, the Bloody Tower, the White Tower and Traitor's Gate. We had a workshop where the children learnt all about the Anglo Saxons, the Battle of Hastings and the history of several different Kings.
