Whilst they were there they were introduced to old phones with a turn dial, this was an interesting find as some children asked “where is the internet” and had never seen one before. As the children moved through the museum, they took part in various activities linked to the postal museum and the history. They had a go at being postal workers on a moving train, putting post into the correct boxes ready for delivery. This was a tricky task but they quickly got the job done. The rail mail train ride was a real hit. They showed images on the wall of the history of the postal service. It was a great day and the children were all beautifully behaved throughout. 

Next week we will continue to explore the Great Fire of London through our Mantle of the Expert task as fire wardens. We will take on the task of rebuilding London after the fire, thinking about how we could ensure the same thing could never happen again. 

Dates for your diary- 

Easter Bonnet Parade- Thursday 28th March. All children in Anemones, Coral Reef and Islands will participate in the Easter Bonnet Parade to showcase their bonnets. 

Please can all Easter Bonnets be in school on Wednesday 26th March, all bonnets will be judged in the afternoon by our school ambassadors for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize in each group. ALL children will receive a chocolate treat for participating. 

All parents are invited to watch our parade- we ask that you arrive at the Coral Reef entrance at 10:45am where an adult will guide you to stand around the playground. We ask that you remain standing around the outside until an adult has called you to collect your child at the very end. To ensure the children remain safe, we will encourage them to stay with their class and not come to you during the parade. The gate will be locked once all children are inside the playground so any late parents unfortunately will not be allowed in to ensure we keep the children safe. 

All belongings will be sent home with the children on Wednesday and therefore we ask that you do not send your child into school on Thursday 28th March with any belongings as they will not come back inside and will go home from the playground.
