Spring Term 2022

Penguins and Antarctica

We read lots of stories about penguins. Our favourites were ‘Penguin’ by Polly Dunbar and ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers.

We painted pictures of different type of penguins.

We found out lots of different facts about penguins and the contrasting environment of Antarctica.

Circus Week

We had lots of fun learning circus tricks for the very first time!

We learnt how to spin plates, balance feathers, spin the diablo, walk the tightrope and many more.

The best part was getting all dressed up at the end of the week!

People Who Help Us

We learned all about the emergency services - firefighters, police officers and doctors and nurses.
We designed and made models of emergency vehicles and made handprint firefighters.

Art Week (Doug Hyde)

Doug Hyde is the most popular contemporary living artist in the UK.

Here are some of his pictures.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

We made porridge and wrote letters from Goldilocks apologising to the Bears.

The children made warning signs to scare Goldilocks away. 

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

In Literacy we have been learning the story of ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen.

The children used their writing skills to create their own story maps.

We learnt the story using actions, and then changed the story to make it our own.

We innovated the story and loved trying to think of a different animal and different places to travel through.

We made our own bear caves. The children had to make sure they could fit the bear in through the mouth of the cave, the cave had to be dark inside and camouflaged on the outside.

The children also designed bright and reflective outfits for a bear so the bear could be seen in the cave. They tested their designs in a dark tent with torches!
