On Friday 26th February 2021, Year One and Year Two visited Rouse Hill Farm to explore what life was like for children over a 100 years ago.
They stepped back in time and had an opportunity to work on the farm by pumping water from the well, feeding chickens, cleaning the stables and washing and hanging out pantaloons.
This was all before starting a hard day of schooling under the direction of Miss Fox the strict school teacher.
She showed our students what school life was like and the types of activities students performed.

As we head into the warmer months Year 1 has started the term with a fun beach focus. Students have enjoyed reading a variety of beach and water-themed books and using these stories to inspire their writing. They explored verbs through the book Jetty Jumping and used lots of descriptive adjectives to write about different sea creatures. The students have had a great time making connections to their own beach experiences and discovering interesting fun facts about life under the sea. ๐โ๏ธ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐
