Year Two Visit to Hampton Court
Fri 28 Feb 2020Year 2 Seuss had a fantastic time at Hampton Court Palace on Thursday 27th February, despite the snowy start. We all saw the great hall where Henry VIII hosted banquets and balls. We walked through the kitchens seeing what food the Tudor courts would have eaten. We watched the interactive chopping boards show us how to prepare the food and how they cooked the meat on the fire. Some pupils had a tour with Katherine Parr's sister and others handled 500 year old coins used when the Tudors were kings and queens. The day helped us all in our history learning about the monarchy through the ages and comparing different periods of time. -

Tom Davis Visit
Fri 14 Feb 2020On Friday 14th February 2020 Yewtree Primary School were boated by Tom Davis, British judo champion. Tom shared his sporting journey with our pupils showing them that he started in the same place they did - taking part in many different sports in school. In Toms journey he suffered many setbacks even from a young age but this did not stop Tom trying his best and never giving up.
Later in the morning Tom joined in with the pupils at Yewtree Primary School on fitness morning where pupils walked, hopped, skipped, ran and even shimmied around the playground. This was all part of Hertfordshire’s mass daily mile initiative where all schools were joining together taking part in a fitness morning at their own school. The pupils at Yewtree take part In daily moving activities including running around the playground whilst at school to help with their physical and mental well being.
Toms message to pupils was to never give up and always try your best very similar to Yewtree's value of “Everyone doing the very best they can”.
