📣 KS2 Campaign Speeches! 🎤

Over the last week, our KS2 children have been hard at work writing their very own campaign speeches. Today, they then had the exciting opportunity to deliver them to their peers during assembly.

It was fantastic to hear their creative ideas, thoughtful messages, and to see just how much their Oracy skills are developing. Well done to all our confident speakers – we are so proud of you! 🌟👏

WWII Experience 🪖💣🚨🛩️

Year 6 had an incredible day at Newcastle Brampton Museum, diving into the history of WWII and discovering its impact on the local community of Chesterton.

The children stepped into the shoes of evacuee Billy Brown, exploring his suitcase filled with clothing, a comic, and a treasured family photo. They also enjoyed traditional games once played in Scouts and Brownies groups, including hopscotch, hangman and pick-up sticks.

A visit to a wartime home gave them the chance to handle fascinating artefacts such as gas masks, ARP hats and even bomb shells. Suddenly, the air raid sirens sounded and the children quickly took shelter underground until the “all clear” was given. To keep their spirits up – just as children would have done during the war – they played bingo, learnt a song from the era, and even made their own toilet paper!

It was an incredibly immersive and memorable experience for everyone involved.
