The Children's Cultural Centre was a hit with the children. They learnt about the history of Oulu, Finland and had an opportunity to explore their activities. #EnrichmentatWelbeck #ScienceatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 4 were getting involved in some creative play on the yard at lunchtime, using equipment to build WW1 trenches based on their class topic! #CPatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Y4/3 have finished their fabulous charcoal portraits of WW1 soldiers. They did a fantastic job 😀 #ArtatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 4/3 worked in groups to order the main events of Walter Tull’s life chronologically to prepare them for writing a biography about his life. #HistoryatWelbeck #EnglishatWelbeck

Y6 stepped back in time at the National Justice Museum as part of our Crime & Punishment topic. The children met a Georgian jailer and a Victorian matron, cracked clues in a Victorian CSI investigation, and took part in a modern-day court case tackling cyberbullying #HistoryatWelbeck #PSHEatWelbeck

Court is in session for Year 6/5! 👩‍⚖️

After writing police reports about the Great Train Robbery in English, it was exciting to see the actual evidence from the crime scene! 🚂
#HistoryatWelbeck
#EnglishatWelbeck

In Victorian CSI, we had to solve clues to find out who had committed the crime in Narrowmarsh
#HistoryatWelbeck

Year 6/5 are exploring the courtyard and meeting the prison warden at the National Justice Museum

Over the holiday, LKS2 were challenged with a project to create a WW1 trench out of materials they had at home. Here is a collage of the brilliant things Year 3 made. Thank you for all your help and hard work at home!
#HistoryatWelbeck

Year 4/3 worked hard to place historical events chronologically on a time line. We started in the prehistoric time period and went right the way to present day. We were able to understand when World War 1 began and which events happened before and after the war. #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 3 used atlases and globes 🌍 to locate countries involved in World War 1 🪖 including the Central Powers, Allies and British Empire during the 1900s. We also learned how each country contributed to the war effort.
#GeographyatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 4/3 have been looking at different sources of information to research what the conditions were like in World War 1 trenches. They’ll be using all the information gathered later this week when they write letters home from the viewpoint of a soldier. #EnglishatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 6/5C were introduced to their new topic, ‘Crime and Punishment’ by ordering a timeline of how punishments have changed from the Romans until the modern day.
They discussed the gruesome punishments and the similarities between now and the past.
#HistoryatWelbeck

Year 6 have been making a great start in their new topic ‘Crime and Punishment’ by researching The Great Train Robbery of 1963. Today we used our retrieval, inference and deduction skills to analyse the key evidence and suspect profiles in the police case file. #HistoryatWelbeck #EnglishatWelbeck

To start our new topic of crime and punishment, Year 5 ordered a timeline observing how punishments have changed over time. We then discussed what is meant by crime and punishment. #historyatwelbeck

Today, Year 2/1G marked 2 minutes silence for rememberance day. We spoke about the symbolism of the poppy and thought about those who fought and died so we could live today. #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 6 have been exploring Victorian history and art by creating striking charcoal portraits of Queen Victoria! A fantastic blend of topic and creativity. Brilliant focus and technique on display! 👑🖼️ #ArtatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

As part of their Victorians topic, Y6 studied Victorian toys and how toys have changed and developed over time, including the materials used to make them. We made thaumatropes, a simple toy that creates an optical illusion. Why not try making one at home? #HistoryatWelbeck #D&TatWelbeck

Wow! Have a look at this book that one of the pupils from Year 5 brought in! It is a book that his Great Great Great Granddad used in Victorian times- very fitting for our topic! #historyatWelbeck

For history, Year 6/5C went on a tour looking at the Victorian buildings in The Meadows.
They found out about Sir Robert Juckes Clifton’s contribution to the area, how railways changed the landscape and Queen Victoria’s legacy.

More pictures of LKS2 enjoying the end of their Roman Experience Day by tasting their Roman recipes and playing Roman board games! 🎲
#HistoryatWelbeck

Children enjoyed playing Roman games as part of LKS2 Experience Day. Some of the games became rather competitive! #HistoryatWelbeck

LKS2 enjoyed moulding clay to make Roman coins as part of their Roman Experience Day! We checked out some real Roman coins to help us design our coins. We even came up with our own emperor names to add on the front!
#HistoryatWelbeck #ArtatWelbeck

Year 1 had a busy morning learning all about Mary Seacole on a fact hunt! #HistoryatWelbeck

Year 4/3 used atlases to find towns and cities that were located along The Fosse Way which was a main road that was built in Britain by the Romans. The children learnt how roads were built, the reasons why and the impact that they have had. #GeographyatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

In Year 4/3, the children have been sharing more of their brilliant homework projects with the class. They described the process and materials used. #DTatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Here are some more Roman themed homework projects that Year 4/3 designed and created over the Easter holidays. Aren’t they impressive! Thank you to our parents and carers for your support with these 😃 #DTatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck

Wow! Look at what Year 3 have created for their Roman homework projects over the Easter holiday! They varied from tiny to almost life-sized!We loved to hear about how each one was designed and made at home. Lots of proud, happy faces! #DTatWelbeck #HistoryatWelbeck
