History- Old Sodbury maps
Today we launched our new history mission which is based around the wonderful book by Charlotte Guillain- 'What did the tree see?' After reading the story, we visited some of the oldest trees near our school to imagine what changes they might have seen. Back in the classroom, we used historical and modern maps of Old Sodbury to find our what has changed and what's stayed the same in the past 135 years.
Anti-Bullying Week- Odd Socks Day
Today, we launched our Anti-Bullying Week by bringing in odd socks and turning them into sock puppets. Then we wrote anti-bullying raps for our socks to perform to the rest of the school.
Remembrance Day- History Workshop
Michael from Historic England visited us to help us learn about Remembrance Day. We went over to the War Memorial and then researched the names on it using the Commonwealth War Graves database. We found some really interesting facts about the soldiers from our village and developed our skills as historians. Thank you Michael!
