We are Historians!

17th October 2024Mr Pickering

2P have been exploring more about the Kings and Queens throughout History. We discussed why some of them have lived in Castles and then turned our focus to Queen Elizabeth II. We built our background knowledge about key events in her life and then created our own timelines to put them in chronological order.

Congratulations to the Key Stage 1 Pride of Plover winners this week.

Nursery Are Scientists!

17th October 2024Amy Woods

Today we have been scientists and learning to understand the world, focusing on the statement “talk about the difference between materials and the changes they notice”. We explored the dry porridge oats and then made predications on how it might look/feel when we mix them with water. We then made some porridge by adding milk, to taste the oats. Most of us thought the porridge was delicious, but some of us were not a fan.
