Spring Term 2024

 

 


Penguins and Antarctic

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

 

 

 

 

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 Fire Engines.

  

 

 

 

Doug Hyde Art Week

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

 

Here are some of his pictures.

 

 

 

We created our own paintings in the style of Doug Hyde, using printing and painting techniques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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!
