Tuesday 2 June 2026 Year 2 - Haynes Motor Museum Trip In preparation for our new history topic (all about different types of transport), Year 2 had a very exciting day at Haynes Motor Museum! We all had a go at lots of different activities. We began with a guided tour and looked at loads of different cars throughout the ages. We even got to sit in some of them. We learnt so many new interesting facts ready for our new transport unit. In the afternoon, we learnt about the parts of a car and had a go at making one ourselves. We soon realised it worked better as a production line because there are so many parts to remember and some of them were very fiddly!

Friday 22 May 2026 Year 1 - Local History Week In Year 1 we have been finding out about Yeovil in the past. We spoke to our grown ups and people who have lived in the area for a long time, and looked at some primary sources to find out a little more about Huish Primary School from years gone by. We learnt lots from listening to people, and decided to attempt a timeline of the primary sources we had showing Huish. We talked about how we could order them and worked out which were the oldest - it was harder than we thought!

Thursday 21 May 2026 Year 5 Art Week - Indian Elephants In Year 5, the children took part in a creative art project in readiness for their India topic after half term, where they designed and made their own elephant masks using modroc. They began by carefully sketching their ideas in their sketchbooks, thinking about the shapes, patterns, and features. To bring their designs to life they added colour plans to their drawings, choosing bright and imaginative colours. Next, the children used modroc strips to build the elephant masks, layering and smoothing the material over moulds, including large ears, long trunks, and textured features. Once the masks had dried and hardened, the children painted their finished creations, using the colours and patterns from their original designs to produce vibrant and unique elephant masks.

Wednesday 22 April 2026 Year 1 - Earth Day 2026 Today we celebrated Earth Day! We watched a video about Earth Day and discussed how we could protect our planet. We came up with some excellent ideas, like picking up litter, recycling our rubbish, and saving electricity by turning off lights. We then read a book called ‘10 things I can do to help my world’ and that helped us think and discuss about why our world was special and what we could do to help. After gathering ideas, we then drew and wrote our own ways to help our world.
