Year 1&2 : Milton Keynes Pantomime

We had a fantastic visit to see Goldilocks at Milton Keynes Theatre. It was a great opportunity for us to watch a real production after completing our own show, and we quickly knew when we needed to laugh, clap or boo! We were especially excited when two children from our school were invited on stage to sing the final song with the star, Brian Conley.

Year 2 : Stevenage Fire Station & Church visits 

Our history topic has seen us learning about the Great Fire of London. As part of this unit, we compared firefighting in the past with firefighting in the present day, and were invited to Stevenage Firestation to meet a team of firefighters. The best part of the day was when we climbed up into the fire engine and got to use the hose!

Towards the end of term, the whole of Year 2 visited St Hugh and St John’s Church to support our learning in RE. We met volunteers who retold the story of different characters from the Nativity and explained why Christmas is an important time for Christians around the world. 

Year 3&4 : Hazard Alley

At the beginning of December, we went to our school trip to Hazard Alley. Through hands-on scenarios - like crossing roads, spotting fire risks, and learning about stranger danger - we discovered how to stay safe in everyday situations. The immersive environment gave us the chance to practise real-life skills in a fun and memorable way, boosting awareness and confidence. It was a day filled with teamwork, laughter, and valuable lessons that will stay with us long after the visit.

Year 5&6 : Harry Potter Studios

With great excitement, Years 5 and 6 ventured to Hogwarts at the Harry Potter Studios in Leavesden. We started off with a creative writing workshop, where some secrets and tricks of the trade were shared with us. Then, after entering through the magical Great Hall, we were able to talk to experts about props, costumes and makeup, fly on a Nimbus 2000, walk inside the Hogwarts Express and experience the effects that were used in the films. Diagon Alley, Gringotts Bank, the Dursley’s House and the Forbidden Forest were all there for us to explore.
