  • Roman Trip!

    Published 16/10/25

    Wrens had a fantastic Romans trip to Hands on Heritage at Tunstall Forest! Upon our arrival, we had home-cooked pancakes served with honey and apple juice in roman numeral cups. We then became archeologists and excavated a Roman villa. We found many different artefacts, including broken pots, coins, bones and tesserae (mosaic tiles). We were able to work out what the different rooms in the villa would have been based upon what was found there.

    We also tried different activities that the people in Britain would have been doing, including whittling wood to make a butter knife, making jewellery from pewter and weaving wool to create cloth. 

    We all agreed it was a fantastic trip!

  • Wrens trip to Foxburrow Farm!

    Published 10/06/25

    Wrens class enjoyed a lovely day at Foxburrow Farm. We started by learning about the life cycle of a plant and then visited the meadow to explore the flowers growing there. Next, we searched for invertebrates using nets to find what was living in the long grasses and lifting old wooden stumps to see what was underneath. We found a newt and lots of different insects. After lunch, we pond dipped where we found a ramshorn snail, non biting midge larvae, damselfly nymph and backswimmers. We all had a lovely day with the wildlife!

  • Dennington School is 150 years old!

    Published 14/05/25

    On the 10th May 1875, Dennington Primary School opened. We celebrated our 150th birthday in style! We held a service of thanksgiving at the Church and heard from past and present students about their time at the school. We then had a celebration at school. We had a Victorian fairground on the field with a carousel and steam train, an exhibition of school memorabilia and maypole dancing.  A big thank you to all who came to celebrate with us, those who helped organise the day and everyone who donated money towards a new library and sensory room. It was lovely to see everybody!
