Year 4 Visit Charlton Athletic FC

 

During the summer term, a group of Year 4 pupils enjoyed a reward trip to Charlton Athletic for an exciting stadium tour. The children learned about the club’s history while exploring behind the scenes, including a visit to the dressing rooms, walking through the players’ tunnel to pitch side, and sitting in the stands to take in the impressive view of the stadium. It was a memorable experience and a well-deserved reward for their effort throughout the term.


Did You Know?
Charlton Athletic are nicknamed “The Addicks” because, many years ago, local fish and chip shop owners would give the players haddock and chips after matches. Over time, “haddocks” was shortened to “Addicks”, and the nickname has stuck ever since!

Year 4 - Victorians Immersion

 

As part of their history learning, Year 4 took part in an exciting Victorian Immersion Day to experience what life was like during the Victorian era. Throughout the day, the children explored a range of activities including learning about Victorian classrooms and schools, investigating Victorian features around our own school site — which was built in 1903 — and discovering how people travelled during Victorian times. The pupils also enjoyed playing traditional playground games such as marbles and hopscotch, helping to bring history to life in a fun and memorable way.
