School Trip to Norwich

We had such a fantastic school trip top Norwich as part of our 'Bright Lights, Big City' topic. we went to Norwich Fire Station where the firemen showed around the station, inside a fire engine and explained how all the tools and hoses work. Then the children went outside and practised spraying the hose. Some groups saw the water rescue boat too and children and grownups were chosen to try on the firefighter outfits. They got a call out 10 minutes before we were due to leave but that was an exciting thing to see how they all get ready and into the fire engine quickly.We had out lunch at Eaton Park Community centre and then had a run around outside. Later we went to Mousehold heath for a spectacular view of the city.

Tea Party with the Queen!

We have had a fantastic start to our new ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ topic. On Tuesday we came dressed in our best party clothes because we had been invited to a tea party with the Queen. We spent the morning making ham, cheese and jam sandwiches with little flags in, we made bunting to decorate and also learned about the role of the Queen and the Royal family. In the afternoon the hall was all set up for our afternoon tea and the Queens arrival, we even made her a throne and a red carpet. We had cups and saucers laid out and lots of the children tried tea with their sandwiches and party rings. The Queen couldn’t stay for the whole afternoon because she is very busy and her driver was waiting but after that we went outside for games. The games included cricket, croquet, hoopla, skipping, skittles and welly tossing.
