Pates' Language Festival
On 1st June, Year 3 and Year 4 went to Pates’ Grammar School for their Language Festival. At the start, we learnt how to do Flamenco dancing—it was amazing! We then split into groups A, B, C and D. We learnt two languages before the first break. We learnt a range of languages including Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, British Sign Language and Urdu. Before we left, we then learnt some Russian dancing. It was magnificent! Finally, we ending our adventure with lunch at the park! What a day! Written by Leon, Gabriel and Jacob, Y3.
We are all so proud of Leon, Klaudia and Filip for receiving their First Holy Communion in school today!
Language Day - Italy
Roman Archaeological Dig
Corinium Museum
We had a great day at the Corinium Museum in Cirencester. We started the day with a 'Life in Roman Britain' workshop where we learnt about Roman forts and trading. We then had a chance to dress up as a Roman, look at Roman foods and pottery, make our own mosaic and play some Roman games.
We then explored the museum - we loved looking at the real Mosaics and artefacts!

We The Curious
We really enjoyed our visit to We The Curious! We started the day with a 'light and shadow' workshop. We completed lots of experiments including splitting up white light, looking at how light travels to allow us to see and using prisms to make a rainbow.
We then spent time looking around the museum. Our favourite parts were the bubble area where we made ENORMOUS bubbles that we could step inside, magnetic sand, the 'leaning lounge' and the hypnotizing wheels.
We ended the day in the Planetarium! We watched an incredible show where we traveled through space! It was an awesome day, we would all love to go back!
