The children had a brilliant time on the Residential this week. It was a fun-packed and active three days - high ropes, laser and archery tag, buggy building (and a little bit of sleep thrown in!)

They all got involved in all of the fun and we were proud of them all for giving all the challenges a try. I am sure they have been regaling their stories - lots of memories made!

Class 3 had a fabulous time with Dr Mandy Hartley in our Stone Age DNA workshop. We explored the different rates that organic and inorganic materials deteriorate and the kinds of Stone Age archaeological artefacts that have been discovered. We also learnt about DNA and how scientists have used DNA samples from Cheddar Man to find out about his hair, skin and eye colour. Everyone was surprised to discover he had blue eyes!
If you are eager to learn more, Dr Hartley has also written a book for children called DNA Detectives: The Stone Age Mystery

Year 5 had a brilliant day at Hands on Heritage! They were able to experience life in Anglo Saxon times by making bread from scratch, whittling a bread knife, designing and making pewter jewellery, weaving and making fire. The children had a great time in the forest!
