Blisworth Community Primary School

1 day ago

Good afternoon, everyone!

As we head into the weekend, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to our wonderful school community for all your support during this week's hot weather.

We really appreciate everyone helping to ensure the children stayed safe, cool and happy by sending in water bottles, hats and sun cream, and for your understanding and cooperation throughout the week.

We are so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community. Thank you for everything you do – it really does make a difference.

Today we're looking back to last half term and our wonderful Year 1 Victorian Curriculum Day!

The children had a fantastic day taking part in a range of activities to discover how school and everyday life were different for children over 100 years ago.

The day began with a writing lesson using chalk and ink to create letters. The children quickly decided that writing with pencils is much easier than it was in Victorian times! They also enjoyed playing traditional Victorian games, including marbles and tiddlywinks, learning how children spent their leisure time.

One of the highlights of the day was making their own mini Victoria sponge cakes while discovering the history behind this classic treat – and, of course, enjoying eating them afterwards!

The pupils also had the special opportunity to explore the historic Blisworth School logbooks, reading entries written by previous headteachers and gaining a fascinating insight into school life from years gone by.

A wonderful day of hands-on history, curiosity and learning!

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Law ... See MoreSee Less
