Sir David Attenborough Day, by Miss Healey
Date: 14th May 2026 @ 12:01pm
For Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday we had a day devoted to him and the wonderful things he has done for this world. We read a book all about climate change and learned of the dangers of forest fires in the Australian wild. We looked specifically at the risk to Koala's and what can be done for them. We looked at their life cycle (linking back to other Science learning this year) and then had a go at recreating some of the art work in the book.

We had a visit from Lucy this week! She came in to talk to us all about our new RE topic, and reminded us with the parable of the Good Samaritan, what would Jesus do? We looked at our day and made a clock with a paper plate, we wrote about what things we get up to day to day and how we could improve these with the guidance of Jesus. We then planned how we would tell a younger class of Year 1 children what we had learnt this day.
RHE: Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, by Mrs Perry
Date: 13th May 2026 @ 3:58pm
The session began in the hall, where the children had plenty of space to move freely as they explored the different ways their bodies can move. It started with an imaginative story about Freddy Teddy and Mollie the Cat going on a morning walk, during which the children acted out movements such as stretching, walking, jumping, and bending. This playful introduction helped them become more aware of their physical abilities in an engaging and enjoyable way. As the session continued, the children were encouraged to reflect on how special and unique their bodies are, recognising them as wonderful, God-given gifts.

This term we are looking at Plants in our Science unit.
