Visits and Experiences
Year 6
Bollywood meets the Bard!!
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust visited Year 6 to show the impact that Shakespeare has had on countries around the world-including India. The pupils learnt about the famous works of Shakespeare -such as Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet-inspiring Bollywood movie-makers.
Well, Year 6 were lucky enough to see inside a special van painted by world-famous truck artist Haider Ali, who paints trucks such as the one above. It took him over 3months to complete the van below, but the end result is phenomenal!
It was time to make our own Bollywood truck art. To do this, the pupils used many skills.
Year 5
ThinkTank
As part of our science unit looking at space and the planets, we visited the ThinkTank Birmingham Science Museum. We even did a scavenger hunt to discover new and fascinating facts!
AVFC 150 year celebration
Our children were fortunate enough to have been invited to the stadium to take part in a range of activities to celebrate the 150th birthday of AVFC, looking at the history of the club, football and the local area. This linked with our current local history study and helped children to gather more knowledge.
This also included a stadium tour, where children got to see behind the scenes of the club! We even got to see the Premier League trophy!
Year 4
Visit to Birmingham’s Thinktank
Year 4 visited the Think Tank to learn about the human body and the digestive system.
We took part in a workshop where we explored and discussed different parts of our bodies. We learnt about a healthy, balanced diet and organised different items of food into 5 key groups made up of carbohydrates, protein, milk and dairy products, fruit and vegetables and sugar and fats.
In the afternoon, we discovered all the other different areas of the science museum – it was great fun!
Year 4 children also visited the Jethavana Buddhist Vihara as a part of their religious education curriculum. The visit helped to develop their understanding of the world's religions, traditions, practices and beliefs.
Year 3
Stone Age Enrichment Day
Year 3 journeyed into the past for a special enrichment day where they learnt all about the Stone Age. Many fun activities were explored, including cave painting, den building and crafting bone necklaces.
