SCHOOLS<br />
NEWS ROUND UP<br />
Tylers Green Middle School<br />
Year Group Trips and Events:<br />
Year 3: went on their first school trip with<br />
TGMS to the Bucks County Museum where<br />
they were greeted by staff and split into classes<br />
to visit the different museums. 3R started at the<br />
Roald Dahl Museum where they enjoyed lots of<br />
interactive activities. The children crawled<br />
through Fantastic Mr Fox’s tunnel, went inside<br />
a giant peach and even got shrunk like Mike<br />
Teevee! 3BG began their exciting day looking<br />
around exhibits to do with the local area. In the<br />
afternoon the classes swapped round. All had a<br />
wonderful day, and followed their experience by<br />
a newspaper report for their homework task.<br />
Year 4 News - Egyptian Day: Year 4 had a<br />
wonderful day learning about life in Ancient<br />
Egypt. The children made Egyptian flat breads<br />
which they had designed using ingredients that<br />
would have been used 4000 years ago. They<br />
also had the opportunity to learn about Egyptian<br />
music and learn and perform a traditional dance<br />
from a professional belly dancer. The children<br />
really enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the<br />
past through hands on experience. The British<br />
Museum Earlier this month, both 4K and 4F<br />
were also lucky enough to travel to London to<br />
visit the British Museum. This was a great end<br />
to a thoroughly enjoyable topic. The adults who<br />
attended the trip were very proud of the<br />
children, who were very well behaved and<br />
enthusiastic. The children learnt a lot from being<br />
able to see mummies and other artefacts from<br />
the Ancient Egyptian era in person.<br />
Year 5 update by Ella Hardy: Year 5 have<br />
been really excited to perform the play ‘How<br />
Christmas Came To Be’ which is about how<br />
Christmas started, what Christmas was like<br />
before Jesus was born, and about the present<br />
Christmas that we know and love today. They<br />
worked very hard on all the songs, dances and<br />
lines. We hope whoever came to see it really<br />
enjoyed it. For the Christingle, there are a lot of<br />
songs to learn, which students deeply care<br />
about. Learning a lot of songs is tricky, but year<br />
5 is very motivated, well done to everyone. If<br />
you think that year 5 couldn`t do anything else<br />
Christmassy… then think again! Each student<br />
created their own fantastic Christmas story!<br />
Along with creative fantastic illustrations, the<br />
year is publishing a modern tale of Christmas.<br />
which I’m sure will be amazing.<br />
Year 6 News: Year 6 made a great start to the<br />
year. We based lots of our study on the book<br />
'Journey to the River Sea' By Eva Ibbotson and<br />
made our own journey to a rain forest when we<br />
visited the Living Rain Forest in Thatcham. We<br />
also made an early start to our study of World<br />
War 1 topic for next term due to the offer of a<br />
special visit to the exhibition in Tylers Green<br />
Village Hall. The children took part in activities<br />
and learnt about the local area during <strong>19</strong>14. The<br />
first major homework project of 'Countries' has<br />
now been handed in and we are very impressed<br />
