This week Year 4 visited Pershore Abbey to learn about its history and the lifestyle of the monks that once lived there. We wore habits and walked to the Abbey in silence!
When we arrived, a candle was lit for each of us. We then learnt all about the monks using the stories in the stained glass windows. We then went outside to learn the history of the building.
Finally, we sat down to a meal. We were only allowed to sit when instructed and had to stop eating when the Abbot did. The whole meal took place in silence and we had to use sign language to ask for more food and drink.
We really enjoyed the experience.
On Thursday 23 May, the whole school enjoyed a trip to the Thinktank Science Museum in Birmingham to support our science learning. We explored lots of galleries including animals and wildlife, the human body, an interactive science garden and a wildlife detective workshop. The outside area was particularly exciting with water experiments on the hot summer's day. We really enjoyed the fun day out because it was so hands on!
