Haughmond Class News
Remembrance Day
This week in Haughmond we have been learning about why we observe Remembrance Day. We have found out about the symbolism of the poppy and the traditions used to remember the end of World War One. We discussed how Remembrance helps us to think of those who have been involved in all wars and Josie told us stories about her Dad and shared his medals with us. Some of the rest of us also talked about our great-grandparents who we knew had been in the military. This afternoon we finished the week making poppy suncatchers and a class poppy wreath.
Firefighter Visit
This week we were visited by Firefighter Rob who came to talk to us about his job and how he fights fires in 2023. He talked about the equipment that firefighters use and we compared it to the equipment used to fight the Great Fire of London. He also talked to us about how to keep our homes and ourselves safe.
A Mystery Suitcase!
Today a mysterious suitcase was delivered to school. It was a very old suitcase and we decided we needed to work out who it belongs to. We used the items in the suitcase as historical sources to find out about the past. We thought at first the suitcase might belong to a pirate or bird watcher as there was a compass and pair of binoculars but eventually decided the case belonged to a soldier from WW1 when we looked at the rest of the clues.
Year 5 Play Leader Training
Year 5 pupils today have undergone Play Leader Training with Mrs Johnson to help the younger pupils play at break and lunchtimes. They will have a rota and lead games and play with Pimhill and Haughmond pupils.
The children were amazing today, it was lovely to see them taking the lead and teaching the younger ones new games.

Visit to Aston Hall
Yesterday we went to visit Aston Hall in Birmingham as part of our History topic about The Great Fire of London. We had a super day, learning all about the events of the fire. We looked at rooms in the style of those in Thomas Farriner’s bakery and Samuel Pepys’ house and exploring some artefacts that are similar to those that would have been used to try and extinguish the fire back in 1666.
