It’s been another busy month in the Infants - everyone has worked hard and continued to show a wonderfully positive attitude to learning at school and at home.
Reception continued their work on traditional tales, predicting what type of plant might grow from a mysterious magical bean and invented amazing porridge recipes for the Three Bears Cafe.
Year 1 and 2 found out about an Incredible Book Eating Boy and wrote some fantastic letters explaining why he shouldn’t eat their favourite book.
After exploring different types of paper and techniques such as collage this half term, we moved on to creating our final paper creations in art - papier-mâché toys! In school, we discovered first hand what happens if you use too much glue, and ended up rather sticky...
We also came to the end of our ‘Toys from the Past’ topic in History, and it has been lovely to see the children involve their families in this learning and talk about the toys that parents and grandparents played with when they were in school.
We also celebrated Safer Internet Day, exploring the story of Detective Digiduck and how we can check if what we read on the internet is true - we made Digiduck masks and became internet detectives too!
This half term, we began our new Paddington topic, which is off to a great start! In English we have been enjoying reading the story by Michael Bond and thought about what we would do if we found a strange bear in our classroom - lots of children thought it would be a great idea to keep him as a pet (we’ll have to ask Mrs Sutton of course!).
The Reception children are enjoying our new London bus station role play area and have been using their learning in Geography to plan all of the places they will visit on the bus - they even took Paddington to Buckingham Palace for a trip.
