Thursday 1 October 2026 Year 4 The Newt Roman Villa Trip 2026 On Thursday, Year 4 had the opportunity to visit The Newt Roman Villa. During the morning, we looked around the museum which included the original foundations of the Roman Villa and parts of a Roman mosaic which were uncovered on the site. We also had the chance to look around a realistic replica of the Roman Villa which was originally built on the site. We explored the various rooms of the Villa, including the kitchen, study, dining room and bathhouse. We all really enjoyed the trip and are looking forward to writing recounts of our experiences later in the week.

Thursday 24 September 2026 Year 2 Geography - Food Tasting As we have been learning about the 7 continents, we had the opportunity to taste a selection of foods from each of them. We tasted coffee from South America, figs from Africa, croissants from Europe, naan bread from Asia, blueberries from North America and vegemite from Australia. We discussed the different tastes and textures we experienced and chose which food we liked the most.

Monday 21 September 2026 Year 4 Science - Circuit Investigation Today we had the chance to test out a range of circuits to see if our predictions were correct. Last lesson, we wrote a prediction for each circuit picture to see if we thought the bulb would light up. In small groups, we made each of the circuits in turn and discussed if our predictions were correct. We found that the bulb only lit up when the circuit was complete. This means the bulb is connected with wires to both the positive and negative ends of the cell, without any breaks in the circuit.

Sunday 20 September 2026 Year 1 Geography - Using and Understanding Maths After recalling a lesson we did last week on transport, we discussed what a map was and why we needed them. We watched a video from a sea plan that showed a ground view and then a bird’s eye view. After looking at Google Earth, we found Huish and other key landmarks in Yeovil. We even found our school. Working with a partner, we looked at a variety of different maps and discussed all the things we found.

Wednesday 17 June 2026 Year 1 Maths - Bingo! (one more, one less) Today we recapped our knowledge of one more and one less. To test our knowledge of this, we played a class game of BINGO! We had to listen carefully to our teacher call out “one more than …” and find the answer on a 100 square. If the answer was on our card, we had to cross it off. When all our numbers we crossed off we shouted BINGO!

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!

We would also like to remind everyone that the art competition is still open for entries, and we look forward to seeing the wonderful creations. Thank you again for your continued generosity and encouragement School in a Bag will be attending for their bag packing on Tuesday 23rd June and the School Council children will be working with Able 2 Achieve finishing off their mosaics over the next month.

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!
