Curiosity

Roman Britain Year 4 spent a day in the Roman way of life! They joined the ranks of the Roman Army and spent the morning being drilled to respond to commands. In the afternoon, girls made oil lamps and played a Roman board game, Tabla Lusarius. They studied and sketched artefacts, which helped them to explore life in Roman Britain over 2,000 years ago.

WWII Learning Year 6 were transported back to 1941 when they were billeted as evacuees to Stockport! They learnt all about life on the home front, including make do and mend and air raid precautions. They also enjoyed a fantastic tour of the unforgettable air raid shelters.

Architecture Workshop Girls in Year 5 were excited to take part in a workshop that brought their mathematics and history lessons together. They were challenged to use their maths knowledge to create basic shapes, such as triangles, pyramids and cubes, using bamboo poles. The class then used these simple starting pieces to make much more complex structures. By the end of the each session, the girls had built a huge Viking longship that was large enough for the whole class to sit in and row! Chester Zoo A fabulous trip to Chester Zoo allowed Year 5 to further develop their understanding of the work they were doing about the Amazon Rainforest. They enjoyed a very informative workshop, as well as having time to explore the zoo.

Viking Visitor Year 5 girls discovered more about the Viking invasion of AD 793 with a very special visitor. After learning more about what life was like for the Vikings, they designed board games, made clay lamps and trained as Viking soldiers.

Travelling by Tuba The girls were taken on a whirlwind adventure to learn more about music with the Travelling by Tuba duo. This fun and interactive session helped them to discover more about the history of instruments and music around the world. Quarry Bank Mill The girls experienced what it was like to be an apprentice at Quarry Bank Mill. They saw the machines in action and discovered the kinds of jobs children and adults would perform in the making of cotton and fabric. The enormous water wheel (the largest in Europe!) impressed everyone and the whole day helped in their understanding of life in Victorian Britain.
