Year 6 trip to the Battle of Britain Bunker

Mon 12 Dec 2022

Across the final two weeks of the term, each year 6 class visited the Battle of Britain Bunker in Uxbridge. While at the bunker, they had a lesson taught to them by a member of staff at the museum, they were able to hold and learn about equipment used in the bunker and they ventured into the World War II bunker used by Winston Churchill himself at the start of the Blitz. The museum is an excellent resource that we're lucky to have so close to us; it's worth an additional visit to take your children again.

Year 3 went to visit St Anselm's Church as part of the Christianity unit in RE. While visiting they learnt about the features of a church, what Christian's believe and enjoyed statues of the Christmas story. They also had a walk around the church to look at the altar, candles and pictures on the stained glass windows. While Mr Owen played the church organ, the children sang songs which sounded amazing because of the acoustics in the church.
