Spring 2 2024
Welcome back to school after the February half term. We are very excited about our new topic 'Real life superheroes'!
Please follow the link below to our topic map. We're hoping to have some real superheroes come to visit us at school this half term!
We have been learning about fantasy superheroes and have enjoyed watching clips about 'The Incredibles' in our English lessons. We have thought about how different super powers could help in different situations.
We had our first visit from a 'Real life superhero' today (27.2.24) when Mrs Cox the nurse came to see us. She told us all about her work at the hospital, about her uniform and the things that she needs to help her to do her job.
Mrs Cox then helped us to make our poorly teddy bears feel better. She helped us to:
-Listen to their heartbeat
-Take their temperature
-Give them an injection
-Bandage up their wounds
-Help them to breathe
The bears felt much better afterwards! We also got to try on a sling!
Huge thanks to Mrs Cox for coming to visit us, we learnt so much!
This afternoon (5.3.24) we had a visit from PCSO Vicky from Droitwich police station. She told us all about her job and let us try on her uniform. We even got to sit in her patrol car and listen to the sirens! Huge thanks for coming to talk to us Vicky!
On World Book Day this year, we completed our design and technology (DT) day. It was all about moving story books! The children learnt about how to make moving parts for their books such as levers and objects that turn. They very much enjoyed their work!
Here is one of their finished books!
We had a visit from the firefighters who work at Evesham fire station. They showed us the equipment from their fire engine and their uniform. The children asked lots of great questions and enjoyed getting sprayed by the water hoses!

Happy New Year! Welcome back to school for the spring term. We are very much looking forward to our learning this half term all about 'The Cold'.
Please follow the link to our topic map for this half term:
We will be going to forest school every Monday through this half term to learn more about cold weather, winter time in the UK, explorers and much more!
Our first forest school session was all about snow. We read some beautiful books to teach us about snow clouds. We had several activities for the children to enjoy:
-Looking at and naming clouds
-Making our own 'snow' crystals with warm water and salt
-Drawing snowflakes with six arms
We have learnt so much about the Polar Regions. We have written our own books about the Arctic and the Antarctic. We have learnt about the people and animals that live in the Arctic and the explorers who tried to reach the South Pole first.
We have learnt about the Polar explorers Robert Scott and Roald Amundsen and their race to be the first people ever to get to the South Pole. It was a long, difficult and dangerous journey.
At Forest School, we split into team Scott and team Amundsen to see which team could get to the South Pole first. Each team had to follow a map and complete the tasks before they could head to the South Pole to plant their flag. Each team had to:
-Make a base camp
-Pack their sledges
-Find food then break it out of the ice
-Make a team flag
-Draw a picture of their captain
-Complete a penguin puzzle.
We have enjoyed playing with ice in the classroom!
