Bristol Pirate Walk

Today Falcons class went into Bristol city centre for the afternoon. We were taken on a guided tour by Pirate Pete. He told us all about the history of Bristol’s pirates. What a fascinating way to end our topic on Beautiful Bristol! Our text topic for the final term is all about volcanoes.

Falcons visit Caerleon

Falcons class went to visit the Roman Fortress and Baths at Caerleon this week to enrich our learning on our current topic. We visited the baths and discovered how the Romans used them for hygiene, exercise and relaxation. They even had under-floor heating! We then experienced a day in the life of a Roman child, including the learning of Roman numerals and some Latin words. Finally we visited the amphitheatre and barrack remains. We even saw the remains of a communal toilet!

First week back

Well done to all children and staff for such a positive first week back. We had an amazing languages day yesterday led by Mrs Detzler. Each class learnt about a different country: Mexico, Ivory Coast, Japan & Italy. We shared our learning with parents at the end of the day. This launches our new languages approach for the year ahead.

Tag rugby match ends in narrow defeat

Iron Acton played the first tag rugby match of the season against our partnership school, and arch rivals, Hawkesbury Upton. The children worked incredibly hard on a dark, cold December afternoon and came away with their heads held high, losing by just a few tries. The try of the match came from Theo, as he finished off a fine Iron Acton spell of possession at the start of the second half. Well done to all the children involved and thank you to the parents who came along to show your support. We look forward to more sports events after the Christmas break.
