Holiday Homework Project

What an utterly amazing effort from all our Fressingfield families!  Our ‘optional holiday homework project’ has resulted in you all bringing into school literally dozens of the brightest, most original and certainly awe-inspiring Christian symbols we’ve seen in a long time!  It will take us quite a while to put all of these up around school. 

Many, many thanks to adults for supporting our children in this lovely project. 

Please keep your eyes peeled when you’re next in school, and see how many of these symbols you can spot.

Floella Benjamin

Congo Class has been researching somebody totally amazing!  As part of our history curriculum, we have been finding out more about the life of Floella Benjamin. Beginning with the amazing book she wrote, Coming to England, we explored how Floella travelled across to England from the West Indies to settle in a new chilly country, England!  Children researched online to find out more about her life and her achievements. 

We couldn’t believe how she not only became a children’s TV presenter, but also started up her own TV production company. And she received an award from The Queen, as well as becoming a member of the House of Lords!  Ms Perry couldn’t believe she has run London Marathon ten times!  Here are some of the great timelines we made.

Waste Recycling

Congo Class has had an amazing session with a local Waste Recycling Officer. Sam showed us a really informative video, talked about what we can and can’t recycle and then played some great games with us. The children were so enthused by this topic, that they have asked to organise an assembly AND a competition!  Watch this space for more information.

European Day of Languages

What an awesome day the children in Congo Class have had!  This year, we had chosen Germany, and all came to school wearing various combinations of black, red and yellow. At the start, we did a wordsearch, to work out and say the days of the week. Then we looked at a great map of Germany, and found out about foods named after Hamburg, Frankfurt and the Black Forest. Can you guess what these are?  

We then learned to count to twelve in German, and used our numbers knowledge to make bookmarks. 

We also listened to some songs and stories in German. But I think Congo Class would agree that the best activity was the taste testing!  We sampled a range of German foods, including rye bread, smoked cheese and German sausage. And did you know Haribos are also German?  

Well done to Congo children, who all made a fantastic effort to listen and engage with something a bit different.
