In Key Stage 1 we are learning about ‘Houses and Homes’.

We have been studying our local village of Chawton and looking at all the different types of houses. We have found out the differences between different types of houses such as a flat and a cottage, a bungalow and a castle, a mansion and a Tudor house. We learnt what a detached house is as well as a semi-detached house and terraced houses.

We went on a walk around our village and recorded in a tally chart different houses that we could see. Then in art we made a collage of houses that make up Chawton and painted pictures of our own houses.

We will be making our own houses during our Design Technology project.

Things have moved on a bit since the victorian days, as our students found out during a recent victorian theme day.

If you drive to the school, please park in the village car park and not outside the school.

As a reward for working so hard for their end of Key Stage 2 tests, Purple Class (Yr 6) were treated to a very special trip on Wednesday 20th May 2009.  The children were taken to London on the train, saw some of the capital's famous sights and watched the Lion King musical! 

The whole school took part in Science Week (starting on 9th March) and worked on a theme of 'colour'. Each day classes focussed on different aspects of colour and undertook many experiments and practical tasks based around these. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the week, with the highlight for many being the Scientist's Assembly!
