Our Year 6 pupils had an unforgettable day out in London!

They explored the sights of Parliament Square, taking in some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks. A visit to the Imperial War Museum was a real highlight, where the children had the fantastic opportunity to attend a special talk about fighter jets and World War I.

On Friday morning the children in year 1 shared with the school community all that they had learn in history this term on the topic of kings and queens in English history and the importance of the Magna Carta.

They began the assembly by telling us all about the different type of clothing Kings and Queens wore and where they lived but they also shared their learning about something very fascinating that happened a long time ago, in 1215. The children acted with great confidence and demonstrated how King John believed he could do what he wanted because he was king. He collected money for taxes from families which left them destitute and in need of support. If they were unable to pay their taxes they were imprisoned. Eventually it was decided the law that governed this procedure had to change and a new set of rules were drawn up. These new rules were introduced through the incredibly important document known as the Magna Carta. It enshrined in law that people couldn’t be imprisoned without a fair trial nor have their belongings or money taken from them unlawfully. This was a a very important moment in history which is still law today.

The children finished their class assembly with ‘I Just Can’t Wait to Be King’

Thank you to all the staff for your support with the script, costume and rehearsals, well done year 1!
