Wrens class had an exciting day learning about what life was like in Neolithic Britain, when we visited Gressenhall Farm. We took part in a number of hands-on activities including how to hunt and gather food, building shelters, farming and grinding wheat to make bread. We all decided that it was hard work living in the Stone Age!
Swallows had a very special trip to London this year. We went on the train to Liverpool Street and then the tube to the British Museum, where we had a fascinating time looking at the Ancient Greek artefacts there. We had a lovely wander around London, including cooling off at Trafalgar Square and the all important McDonald's! The absolute highlight was seeing the show "Matilda" at the theatre - we were blown away by the performance! The children were superbly behaved and were all had an amazing day and a very late night!
The whole school took part in Cosy Reading Day to celebrate the love of reading at Dennington School. We spent the day feeling very cosy in our pyjamas, sipping hot chocolate and reading books.
We read our own books, listened to class stories, read books to children in different classes and had fun answering quiz questions about our favourite books.
Well done to everyone. You all played so well winning bronze medals in the Tag Rugby tournament held at Thomas Mills High School.
Swallows class had a great time exploring the visitor centre at Sizewell Power Station as part of our work on Electricity. To find out more and see all the pictures, visit the photo gallery section of the website.
To raise money for Children in Need we came to school dressed in spots and brought in lots of coins to cover our big Pudsey Bear.
Here are the new school council members wearing their badges proudly!
Being part of the school council is a very important job at Dennington School. One child is voted in to represent each year group, and they get an opportunity to help with the running of the school.
Our amazing year 5 and 6 children competed in the HSSSP football tournament held at Hartismere High School. They came 2nd in the competition and are all very proudly wearing their silver medals! A fantastic team effort, played with great enthusiasm. Jon and Charlie won a good sportsmanship award chosen by the referees.
We had a lovely day exploring Colchester Castle as part of our topic about the ancient Romans. To find out more and see all the pictures visit the photo gallery section of the website.
Chaffinches class have been busy creating and planting up their new garden. They planted and harvested strawberries, runner beans, courgettes, carrots, and lots of tomatoes. You may have seen the giant sunflowers towering over the fence as you walked to school.
