Woodpecker Class in action
Autumn 2
During Autumn 2, Woodpeckers have participated in weekly swimming lessons at Dorking Leisure Centre. Coaches Amber, Jasper and Daphne have been very impressed with how well Woodpeckers have listened and followed instructions. This has enabled all Woodpeckers to progress in their swimming and importantly, become more confident and safe in the water. Well done, Woodpeckers!

To practice descriptive writing, we created our own monsters and then described them to our classmates, challenging them to recreate our creatures based on our vivid descriptions.

In PSHE, we learned about relationships and how to communicate well. We tried teamwork activities to see how working respectfully and talking positively can help us reach our goals together.

Time travelling to Fishbourne Roman Palace!
Our brilliant young historians took a journey back to Roman Britain with a spectacular trip to Fishbourne Roman Palace—a place bursting with ancient wonders, stunning mosaics, and stories from nearly 2,000 years ago!
The day was packed with three unforgettable workshops that brought Roman life vividly to life:
Roman School - Woodpeckers swapped their modern classrooms for a Roman one, learning to write on wax tablets, chant Latin phrases, and experience the strict (but fascinating!) world of Roman education. Which type of schooling did they prefer?!
Roman Activities - From dressing up as a Roman Prince and Princess, to grinding grain and spinning wool, using reed pens and ink, this hands-on session gave Woodpeckers a real taste of Roman daily life. They explored Roman games, handled artefacts, and discovered how Roman children lived, worked, and played.
Military Matters With shields in hand and serious faces on, pupils trained like Roman soldiers! They learned about Roman armour, tactics, and formations.
The trip was a fantastic blend of fun, learning, and imagination. Our Woodpeckers finished the day full of excitement, bursting with facts, and ready to share tales of Roman life. A huge thank you to the team at Fishbourne for making history so engaging and memorable!
