👮‍♀️📚 "Year 4 Elder immersed themselves in their History learning with the launch of this term’s topic, Crime and Punishment! PC Gemma joined us with some brilliant props, giving the children the chance to dress up as we explored how crime and punishment have changed over the years. What a fantastic way to start our new topic. We are looking forward to all the learning ahead!" ~ Mrs Simmons#HolmleighPrimary #Hackney #WoodberryDown #StokeNewington #Clapton #Hornsey
📚🔍 "Year 4 Elder were captivated by our new story, I’ll Take You to Mrs Cole! Pupils walked into the classroom to find the ‘Mother’ from the front cover looking very angry, leaving everyone with lots of questions. Who is Mrs Cole? What did the boy do? Why is Mrs Cole used as a threat, and how might the boy be feeling?Follow us on our learning journey as we explore Warning Tales and begin to uncover the answers to these questions and more!" ~ Mrs Simmons#HolmleighPrimary #Hackney #WoodberryDown #StokeNewington #Clapton #Hornsey
