• 🌳Year 3 Learning Outside of the Classroom

  Fri 08 May 2026

  As part of their learning on a local case study, the children in Year 3 took part in a local area walk around Buntingford. This valuable experience gave children the chance to explore their town first-hand and develop a greater understanding of their local environment.

   

  During the walk, the children explored the High Street, where they observed a range of buildings and discussed their different uses and features. They also visited the local river, which helped them learn more about the geographical characteristics of the area and Buntingford’s history.

   

  The walk successfully brought classroom learning to life and encouraged children to make observations and ask questions.

• Year 4 Ash class

  Wed 06 May 2026

  Year 4 Ash class stepped back in time this week as they explored the natural dyes used by the Anglo-Saxons. Inspired by these traditional methods, they experimented with modern-day natural ingredients including turmeric, beetroot and blackberries to create their own vibrant colours.

   

  There was lots of excitement as they dyed their cloths and discovered the different shades each ingredient produced. It’s safe to say it was great fun, especially as the colours didn’t just stay on the fabric, but on their hands too!
