Hilltop 2024
Swallows visited Hilltop Residential Centre. "Challenge by Choice" is the motto for the week and everybody definitely challenged themselves in their own way! We had a great time together, having fun and building memories.
Below you can see some of the things that the classes at Dennington have been doing.
There are more photographs of these events in the Photo Gallery section.
We are delighted to share these photographs with parents, but we ask that you do not share any of them on any social media platforms, please.

Evacuee Day Autumn 2024
Wrens class spent a lovely day exploring West Stow Anglo-Saxon village.
Children in years 2 to 6 had a great visit to Cambridge Central Mosque. We were able to explore the mosque and found out about how you would worship here.
We had a fantastic time performing our play Oliver!
Forest School Fridays!
Wrens spent an exciting day as archaeologists excavating a Roman villa! We uncovered the remains of the walls and a number of rooms, some with mosaic floors. We found quite a lot of pottery pieces which would have been bowls, Roman coins, broaches and the remains of the food they would have eaten. We were able to work out what life would have been like in the Roman villa using the evidence that we found.
Swallows went back in time to World War Two. We walked to the church, where we listened to a recording of the war announcement, wrote letters to our parents and posted them, as evacuees. We walked to the pill box and had our WW2 rationed picnics out on the field, before returning to school where we made some recipes using the limited ingredients available to us!
Swallows children journeyed by train to London, from Ipswich station to Liverpool Street station, and enjoyed a river trip down the Thames to see the sights. The visit to the Tower of London brought alive our learning about the Tudors, and seeing "Raleigh's Walk" was a wonderful link to our reading "My Friend Walter" by Micheal Morpurgo.
November 2022
The School residential visit to Hilltop, near Sherringham in Norfolk, was a really great time! We love the motto "Challenge by Choice" - and that is what we all did that week! See the photo gallery for more pictures of some of the challenges and adventures we had and the memories they created.
