Learning about First Aid with The British Red Cross
Last week we had our first session with Emma from the British Red Cross. She talked to us about what we should do if we saw a stranger needing first aid.
She reminded us that we need to be careful around strangers and aware of ‘Stranger Danger’ but we can still get help.
We agreed the best…
Remembrance Day
Today we have been thinking about Remembrance Day. We read a text about what Remembrance Day is and how we remember all the people that died in war.
Together we made poppies and made a wreath to show we care.
Practical first aid
This week, our first aid session with Emma was practical. We began by watching a YouTube clip called “Unresponsive and Not Breathing”. From this we discussed what the right thing to do would be.
After that, we practised putting someone in the recovery position.
Finally, each group was…
A visit from Zeus and Buddies Animal Encounters
As part of our current topic, we were so lucky to have a visit from Laura from Zeus and Buddies Animal Encounters.
Laura brought some very special creatures to visit us. She brought Funky the Chameleon, who was very colourful. Charlotte the Tarantula, who was very hairy and had prickly feet.…
Brilliant bridges.
Over the past few weeks we have been looking at, designing, making and evaluating bridges.
We worked in Kagan groups so we could help each other.
Look at us trying to make our bridges from our plans, it was quite tricky to make the bridges strong and stand up. Some could stand, sadly not…
Firework Fun
In nursery this week we enjoyed lots of firework related activities.
In P.E. we moved along to the sound of the musical instruments pretending to be fireworks.
We made zooming rockets on craft, sparkling play dough fireworks and yummy chocolate covered marshmallow sparklers.
Congratulations

We are Artists!
Recently, we have learnt all about the Gunpowder Plot – how it began and about the people involved. In literacy, we have written newspaper reports, and today, in art, we tried sketching portraits of Guy Fawkes to use in our report. It was tricky, but everyone worked hard to persevere with…
Bridge Challenge!
Pupils in year 2 had a very exciting afternoon making their own bridges yesterday. Children designed and made a bridge in their KAGAN group using only newspaper. To finish, we had a class challenge to see which one of the bridges was the strongest! Tomorrow we will evaluate our bridges…
A Visit From Zeus and Buddies!
After our visit from Zeus and Buddies Animal Encounters, we are even more confused about what makes the perfect pet! Today, we met a chameleon, a Burmese python, a tenrec, a tarantula and a meerkat! The children were very brave and handled the animals with care. They asked some fantastic questions…

Great with grammar …
Recently we have been learning about the past and present tense. We were given words and had to sort them into those that were in the past and those that were in the present tense.
After that, we went onto the iPads and grammar bug. Miss Bunn had allocated a past and present tense task. We…
