Our Day Out at Framlingham Castle
On Thursday 30th June we visited Framlingham Castle which was a fantastic experience and we learnt so many brilliant facts! We spent time looking in the museums and sketched interesting artefacts. We climbed to the top of the castle and completed the wall walk which was very high; we could see the whole of Framlingham from the top! Furthermore, we spent time looking around the grounds and we all made a secret wish in the wishing well. We also completed the moat walk too; it was great fun exploring the moat and looking at the dungeons! We had an amazing time and everyone really enjoyed all the activities!
Banham Zoo – Colorado Class
On Tuesday 28th June, Colorado Class had a fantastic time at Banham Zoo, thanks to Archie who won an art competition with his colourful lion picture. The prize was a day at the zoo for his class, with lunch provided, and a t-shirt with his picture on it for every child.
We had two very interesting talks, one on life cycles and the other on classifying creatures. We were able to touch or hold some of the creatures, including pythons and a millipede.
We saw some amazing animals – some we recognised and others that we had never seen before. The penguins seemed to be the most popular!
Pond Dipping!
On Monday in Science, we spent some time in our pond area and observed a variety of differences since the spring and autumn terms. We discussed how habitats have changed and noticed that we could see a lot more creatures compared to colder months. It was very fun identifying different animals and finding a variety of creatures!
Wow! What an amazing building!
Children in Fressingfield could not believe their eyes, as they walked first around, and then through Norwich Catholic Cathedral of John the Baptist. We had an amazing talk by Tania, who told us all about the gothic style of the building (arches pointing to Heaven, stained glass and flying buttresses), and also about the symbolism of the artwork in a Catholic church. We had a fantastic time, and saw some stunning spectacles. Some of our favourite things were the awesome stained glass, and the stories it tells, and also the 3,00 year old fossil-encrusted pillars. Can you spot three local saints in our pictures, including St Edmund and St Felix?
