WW2 board Game Homework

Mrs Mansell's class were once again put to task with their topic homework.  They were asked to make a board game relating to an area of WW2 studied this term involving money (the currency at the time), but they were only allowed to use recycled materials to work within the 'Make do and mend' ethos.
Once again, I was staggered at the time spent perfecting the games, the ingenuity of the children shown in the range of ideas and lastly, the pride in the the games they had produced.  The final results were, to say the least' outstanding.
We have spent a very enjoyable morning playing and evaluating the games, sometimes with very surprising results.  Once again, I feel tremendous pride in my hardworking and enthusiastic class.

Christmas Lunch

The day of the long anticipated Christmas Lunch had finally arrived.  The smell of roasting potatoes and Christmas stuffing wafted down the corridors from early in the morning making all our mouths water.
The hall was organised with the help of Miss Dempsey, Mrs Corr and a number of older children.  The children, school governors and other visitors sat for lunch, older and younger children mixed in together as the adults took plates of delicious food to takes.  The Year 6 children took charge of the younger children and 'assisted' with the crackers.  Hats on, fake nails and moustaches attached and a round of 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' sung and lunch was quickly devoured.

A huge thank you to Mrs Hall and Mrs Eagle in the kitchen and to Mrs Taylor for organising a very successful Christmas lunch.
