Year 1

We had to get the beds ready for the soldiers and clean the floors.

We had to clean the dirty bandages and hang them to dry.

The classroom was set up like a hospital in the Crimean War. We had to collect all the rats that were running around.

Year 1 have enjoyed a visit from Florence nightingale and she has been telling us all about how she changed nursing for the better.

Last Friday we went on our very first trip in Year 2, to Staircase House in Stockport. Whilst we were there we learnt all about the Great Fire of London. We dressed up as different characters and then acted out parts to help us understand the events of the story. In the afternoon we learned what Fire Marks where and made our own Wattle and Daub wall.

It was a really brilliant day, and the children were outstanding representatives for our school.

For the start of our English book ‘Owl Babies’ we went outside and made nests.

In DT we have started our mechanisms topic. Our first week saw us making slider mechanisms.

We have drawn round someone in our group and wrote our own labels.

In science we have been learning about our body and labelling body parts. We have been working in small groups or with a partner.
