This week saw two events for Year 5: our Year 5 / 6 Mass and a day trip to Fort Nelson, linking with our World War 2 topic.
A joint celebration was enjoyed on Tuesday morning with Father Jeremy with the theme of remembrance for lives lost in wars past and present as well as lives lost in our lives.
On Thursday, we enjoyed a trip to Fort Nelson to take part in ‘recruitment’ day for jobs in WW2. The children took part in three activities to see if they would like to have be part of one of three services: A.R.P (Air Raid Protection), A.T.S (Auxiliary Territorial Service) or the Home Guard. For each activity they won points for their efforts and the winning platoon was announced at the end of the day. It was a fantastic day and the children loved exploring the fort. Thanks to our parent helpers for giving up their time to support this learning day – we couldn’t have done it without you.
And the winning platoon of the day was… Baker Platoon! An all-girl platoon from 5SC – reminding us all just how vital women were in the war efforts to secure victory!!! Well done to all platoons for excellent effort.
