• Year 2 Visitor from Bosworth Battlefield

  Thu 29 Oct 2020

  Today Year 2 were very lucky to receive a visit from Eddie from Bosworth Battlefield. He was dressed in clothing from the past and brought along artefacts, including lots of armour, to show the children.

   

  Eddie told us all about the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 (including a few disgusting details). We found out that people weren’t very hygienic and clean when going to battle as well as dirty living conditions.

  We learnt that there were 3 main people in the battle; King Richard III (who had the biggest army), Henry Tudor (who had the smallest army that couldn’t fight) and Lord Stanley. Lord Stanley took a backseat until towards the end of the battle; where he took sides with Henry Tudor. We also found out that the battle lasted around 90 minutes and didn’t have many people there (less than a football stadium).

   

  It was a very interesting afternoon where we found out a lot of facts; including the size of cannonballs (2 bags of sugar), what people ate and drank (beer, wild boar, rabbits, rats, berries) and how they went to the toilet (in their armour; yuk!)

  

• Harvest - EYFS

  Fri 09 Oct 2020

  This year we have had to celebrate Harvest a little bit differently.  The children in Class 1,2 and 3 have been learning all about what harvest is.  They have talked about how crops are grown and harvested and have made their own scarecrows.  They also read the story The Scarecrows Wedding by Julia Donaldson.

   

  Please look at the photographs below showing all the amazing scarecrows that have been made!  Well done everyone!

   

  If you would like to donate anything for harvest this year we are asking people to make a monetary donation to the food bank charity Bankuet, which supports food banks nationwide, including Hinckley.  You can make a donation by logging on to www.bankuet.co.uk/hinckley and following the 'give now' instructions.  The minimum donation is £5.00.  Thank you.
