WBD: Where‘s Wally 30th Party!
Year 1-4 pupils and their Literacy teacher dressed as Wally and Wenda for WBD 2017.
First, they had to search for Wally as he had disappeared on his 30th birthday! He had left a rhyme to provide clues to find letters, which spelled out his location when unscrambled. ALL of the pupils found Wally and got their ‘I found Wally’ certificates!
Wally? Wally? Where are you?
Under something red; above something blue:
Follow this pattern – times two –
To get a HUGE clue!
One letter was hidden under the teacher’s red chair!
We also had to find 30+ things – like 2 helmets, 4 buckets, etc. – in a ‘Where’s Wally’-style excavation site picture!
Busy searching!
We designed National Book Tokens for the ‘Oodles of Doodles’ competition
Where are all our Wallys?
We had a 30th birthday cake for Wally!
Victorian Tea Party
Mrs Watson, the KS2 History teacher, prepared a sumptuous tea for her Victorian guests, who varied from the Queen to a pauper!
KS2 pupils dressed as Victorians!
During their tea party, the pupils (aka. Victorian guests) showed an awareness of the Victorian context through their conversation – some upper class ladies bewailed the discrimination between the classes and stated they would permit their children to play with those of the lower classes. Guests also demonstrated exemplary etiquette – excepting the poor pauper who had not been educated in mannerly conduct.
All of the classes joined the tea party!
Following the reading of an account about a Victorian girl’s experiences of working in the mine, the pupils examined pictures of conditions in the Victorian mines for child workers, making observations. Then each pupil wrote three questions he/she would like to ask the child workers.
After this preparation, each pupil adopted the role of an MP for South Down and participated in a parliamentary debate about the conditions in Victorian mines.
