• King Henry VIII visits Acton CEVC Primary School

  Fri 08 Feb 2019 Miss O'Neill

  What a fantastic Tudor Day Owls and Bumblebees had this week! We came into school on Thursday in our brilliant Tudor outfits. Some of us were dressed as poor Tudors in dark coloured clothes, whereas others were dressed in rich, colourful Tudor clothes. During the day we met King Henry Vlll and learnt all about his life. We found out about how the Tudor period began and all about King Henry Vlll’s wives and children. We took part in a ‘do you think or not think’ quiz. We learnt that the Tudor’s ate bananas but didn’t have potatoes. Our jousting tournament before lunch was also great fun. In teams we had to collect six quoits using jousting spears, the first team to collect them all, won. In the afternoon we had a go at Tudor dancing and played musical instruments along with creating a Tudor rose and playing noughts and crosses.

  On Monday and Tuesday, the whole school took part in Internet Safety activities, to make sure we are all aware of how to keep safe online. The week started with two assemblies to get us all thinking, and then Mrs Chapman developed the theme through lots of activities in her ICT lessons.

  For further information on helping your child stay safe online, please see the Online Safety page of this website.

  

• 'So - What's the Story?'

  Fri 01 Feb 2019 Miss O'Neill

  This week KS1 had an exciting visitor, a Storyteller called Justine. Justine told everyone a wonderful African story called ‘Anancy the Spider’ and then the children had the opportunity to create their very own stories.

  In Reception Class, Justine involved the children in retelling traditional tales on a theme of 'three'. Can you guess what they were?
