Take a look at some of the exciting things we have been up to this year!
Commando Joe's
We have just started our Commando Joe's missions. Our missions are all set for The Queen who is a significant figure we are learning about in our History lessons this half term. The children have had to work together to complete different missions set by her including crossing the River Thames safely and building her a carriage.
Remembrance Day
The children took part in learning all about Remembrance Day. They joined in with the 2 minutes silence showing respect to this significant day. We then visited the parade in Bedworth town understanding that we are the only town to always parade on the 11th. Finally, the children learnt about why World War I started and why it impacted the World.
D.T Healthy Wraps
During our D.T topic this half term the children looked at keeping our bodies healthy. One of the five ways to look after our body was to give it a balanced diet. The children spent time looking at a balanced plate, picking specific ingredients and designing a wrap they would like to eat. The children had great fun learning all about this.
Young Writer's Competition
During our topic 'Super Duper You' we spent some time thinking about what we wanted to be when we grew up. The children looked at poems about this and practiced their oracy skills by reading these allowed to their peers. We then wrote our own Acrostic Poems about what we wanted to be when we grew up. We entered these into a competition and now have been asked if our work would like to be published into a poetry book. We are really proud of ourselves!!
Bedworth Town
This term the children have spent time learning about our Local Town, Bedworth. We walked around the town stopping at significant points such as The Cake Shop, Almshouses and Miner's Welfare Park to name a few. This helped us with our Geography and History learning. After going on our trip around town we were then able to think about keys and symbols on a map and think about the changes our town has been through over the years.
