Postcard from Bradwell:-
"Thursday 4th July 9am
We are having an amazing time! It's like Barbados! Some sleep was had and they all loved the huge breakfast! One child said that he is moving in!! Room inspection went well and toothbrushes have been used!
Another child spotted a pigeon's nest outside her room with chicks - she is now nicknamed David Attenborough!!"

During this term we have been very busy.
In class 4, the children have been learning about 'The Victorians'. The children have carried out research into all aspects of Victorian life and have then created their own museum to share all of their knowledge with the younger children. When the children came, a fantastic time was had by all. The younger children really enjoyed their learning and the older children took their roles very seriously. There were games, dressing up, artefact exploration, education system and punishments, not to mention the traditions of a Victorian Christmas.
Braintree Museum Experience
On Tuesday 11th December, class 4 visited Braintree museum for a Victorian experience. The children encountered a school mistress who taught the three 'R's. The children experienced pounds, shilling and pence (£,s,d) and explored Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol'. We were shown punishments that would have been used in a Victorian school room including the dunce hat, back board (for not slouching), the finger trap (to stop fidgeting) and the cane.
After the school room, the children handled artefacts from the Victorian era and had to guess their function.
The children made Victorian crackers (known as 'cosaques') and thaumatropes (where two pictures are spun and look combined).
A great day was had by all!
