  • Year 4 - Nene Park Outdoor Centre

    Roman Day trip to Ferry Meadows - November 2023

    Year 4 wowed our hosts at Ferry Meadows with their knowledge of the Roman Empire.  They were then taught more about the Roman presence in Peterborough and our local links with the 9th Legion.  The children completed an orienteering route in order to find clues to answer their Roman questions.  Luckily, their map reading skills were up to scratch and nobody got lost!

    In teams, the class built a wattle and daub wall structure and utilised the weaving skills they have been learning about in Art lessons on a much grander scale.

    In the afternoon, teams built a Roman onager (catapult type structure) and tested their structure to find out how to make the onager launch missiles to travel over a greater distance.

  • Year 3 - Nene Park Outdoor Centre

    Published 14/11/23

    To support our study of 'Rivers' Year 3 visited Nene Park outdoor centre at Ferry Meadows. Working as a team we measured the width of the River Nene and checked the depth and speed of the water as it flowed into Gunwade lake. We drew a map of our surroundings and used a key to add the features we saw. Walking around the park we noted how the land was used and observed a wide variety of wildlife.

    The afternoon was spent pond dipping in one of the lakes. We were very surprised at the number of invertebrates we discovered living in the pond margins.

    Understanding Creation.

    Year 5 had a fantastic day at Peterborough Cathedral. The children completed lots of exciting activities, including making stained glass windows, having a tour of the cathedral and creating some collages based on 'Psalm 8'. The children also had the opportunity to climb right to the top of the North Tower. The view at the top was amazing and they could see the whole of Peterborough.

    Year 2 visited Hamerton Zoo on their school trip. They enjoyed a workshop all about the senses of different animals and how they navigate their environments. They then went around to look at all the different animals. Having recently read the story Meerkat Mail, they really enjoyed looking at the meerkats and jackals and discussing the characters in the book. The children were also amazed by the size of the bears and were shocked to know that these were the smallest of all the brown bears.
