Guildhall

Class Teacher: Chantal Tyler

Welcome to Guildhall Class one of our Key Stage 3 classes here at Redwood Park Academy.

Academic Year 2025/2026

Guildhall class have had a great Autumn term! We have been working super hard and are very proud of our achievements so far!

In maths we have worked carefully on number and place value making sure we can accurately read, write and understand number. We have developed our skills with common addition and subtractions facts and have used pictures and concrete resources for support. We have become more money aware! We have worked hard on recognising British coins and have started adding them together to understand cost and change.

In English we have listened to stories such as Beowulf and a Christmas Carol. We have thought about character and considered what it would be like to meet a monster – this gave us lots of exciting description! We have enjoyed listening to these stories and have enjoyed retelling them orally to each other. We have particularly enjoyed class debates this term and are taking it in turns to speak and listen to our classmates. Well done Guildhall!

Our theme this term has been “Time Traveller”. We have looked at lots of different periods in history including The Tudors, The Anglo Saxons and most recently, The Victorians. The class have enjoyed pretending to be Victorian school children and Victorian workhouse workers (even though they pretended not to at the time!)

We have really enjoyed making monsters in art, using clay to mould things with our hands. We then had a great time decorating them using paints. We have created firework pictures with oil pastels and have had a great time crafting for the Christmas market!

Guildhall are looking forward to another exciting term In January!
