As part of our topic work we were learning about children in the 19th Century who worked down the mine. Next year, we will be commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Felling Pit disaster when 94 people were killed, many of them children. We did lots of role-play about family life and learned about all the different jobs that people did. We made sketches of the jobs using charcoal.
As part of our international learning we found out all about Italy. We decided to visit an Italian restaurant, 'The Godfather', in Newcastle. Fun was had by all and we really enjoyed the tasty pizzas and pasta. We shared our learning with the rest of the school, our friends and families. We acted out our own restaurant where we ordered our food in Italian with the Italian speaking waiters!
