Welcome to Hope CE Primary School Blog

Thanks to Adam Hart-Davis (from ‘What the Victorians did for us’) for his suggestions for important dates on the Hope School timeline.

Please keep your suggestions coming!

More dates still needed!!

From 300BC (well we had to start somewhere!) to the present day, the Hope School Timeline is now complete!

What significant historical event would you like to see included?

Post your suggestion, and we will include your name/school name when we mark your event on the timeline.

You will need a pile of multilink cubes for this one.

Some Year 3s and 4s have produced some podcasted instructions to make a variety of small models. Listen to the podcasts, try to follow the instructions, then click on ‘View Solution’ for a picture of what your model should look like.

How good are their instructions? What positional language did you hear? How could they have made this easier for you to visualise what should be happening?

Crank your speakers up then click here to watch the latest installment from Hope School’s own George Lucas.

If you want to make your own animations it need not cost anything. Edward has made all of the Light Wars series at home.
