Just before Christmas we enjoyed another trip to Willow House with the Musical Connections project. We had fun singing and dancing and even had a snowball fight (with balloons!). Fishergate is very lucky to have a link with Willow House and are proud to be able to help older people in the community to enjoy music and socialising with others in a residential home environment. For more information on this project please see the Musical Connections website http://www.musicalconnections.org.uk/

Our Y3/4 children were invited to the cemetery on Remembrance Day to lay special poppy crosses on the war graves. We had a very peaceful afternoon, with some real reflection, thinking about the people who had given their lives in battles since the First World War.
The children also observed a two minute silence at the War memorial at the cemetery and two children were chosen to lay a special poppy wreath in memory of the fallen soldiers. We feel very privileged to have been asked again to take place in this very important day by York Cemetery.
York Veterans shared their experiences of WWII with Y3/4 children as part of our learning about Rememberance.
The Yr 3/ 4 children enjoyed making Hawaiian bread as part of the global introduction to the year….
…and it tasted scrumptious!
As part of our Summer topic, ‘Living Things’ we had fun over at the cemetery finding and investigating different habitats. The highlight by far, as voted by the children, was the pond dipping. We found and used some classification keys and pictures to label loads of amazing pond creatures!
We watched this video from the code.org website to help us think about how we can work effectively as a team when using technology. Sometimes two heads are better than one!
We had lots of fun on our last visit to Willow House. Our workshop was linked to our work in school on the Ten Pieces project. We all went on a journey on a boat across a story sea and had fun dressing up for our celebration at the end! The children worked really well with the residents and caught up with old friends. We are really looking forward to our next visit!
Thank you to Fiona Chapman of Musical Connections for her fantastic work with us during this project.
We had a fabulous time learning about the Romans!
