Year 5 visited the Ragged Museum

February 7, 2017News, Year 5Deleted User

Today Year 5 visited the Ragged Museum, the first one built in the UK, to learn about how children were educated during the Victorian times.

First they experienced a Victorian lesson, with an extremely strict teacher and learn how to write in script. A couple of lucky children also got to use the the finger stocks and a back straightener for fidgeting and slouching.

Later, the children were shown a Victorian kitchen and they learnt about the different tools they had, such as the wringer, and how people would have lived.

Would you like to be a child in the Victorian times?

Storytelling week – Parents reading to Children

February 3, 2017NewsDeleted User

At John Perryn Primary School we believe that it is important to help children develop a life-long love of reading. It is also essential that they develop good comprehension skills in reading, enabling them to develop their learning in other areas of the curriculum and extend their knowledge and understanding of the English language. This time we have invited parents to come and read to different year groups.

Thanks to all the parents for helping us! Children loved your amazing stories!

Cooking tips

Have your eyes ever teared or stung when chopping onions? A great tip to help to clear your eyes, is to run the back of both your wrists under cold running water for a minute! Try it next time you chop onions to see how it helps!

To check if your fairy cakes are cooked take a toothpick, cocktail stick, or sharp knife and poke through the center of the cake. If the instrument comes out clean your cakes are ready! If not, try again in a minute or two.
