  • All in a year!

We learnt why some planets have shorter years and why others have much longer years.

    In the classroom we explored leap years and had lots of fantastic discussion.

  • A new project linked with Knebworth House

    Published 24/01/19, by Candice Smith

    The children were excited to receive a visitor on Tuesday afternoon from Knebworth House. They heard all about the Watch Tower, which is beginning a huge renovation. The children listened to the 'vision' of the Watch Tower and the many educational opportunities which will be available there in the future.

    An App is in development which will show children the view from the Watch Tower at different points in history. This is what they needed our Year 5 experts for - so the children began by drawing annotated pictures of Anglo Saxon villages which will be used by the App producers to add content about this time period.

    Watch this space because we hope to test and review the App later in its development and eventually go and see the new renovated Watch Tower!
