Mountbatten

Class Teacher: Faye Ansell

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

Academic Year 2025/2026

This term’s topic, Time Travellers, has taken us on a journey through the past. In English we explored the Stone Age through the book Stone Age Boy, then used it as inspiration to write our own versions of the story.

In Maths, we have been practising multiplication and division, creating and interpreting visual data such as bar charts and pictograms, and we have just begun reading and plotting coordinates.

Our STEM learning has been hands-on and great fun—we especially enjoyed learning about mummification in Ancient Egypt, mummifying tomatoes, and designing and building sarcophaguses and pyramids for them. In our Project lessons, we created Tudor peg dolls with traditional Tudor dress, which showed fantastic creativity and attention to detail.

It’s been a brilliant start to the year, and Mountbatten Class are now working hard on our Christmas performance. We’re all very excited to share it soon!
