Nursery have worked hard to create their own hand print poppies, which we then stuck together to create a whole class wreath. We learnt about why we celebrate Remembrance Day and what the poppies stand for.

Fieldwork explorers
2P had a fabulous time on our fieldwork visit to Sandall Beat Woods. We learnt about the food that poor and rich people would have eaten in Medieval times and how food was cooked over open fires. We made some Peasant food. We used the vegetables that would have been available at the time to make a simple vegetable soup. The children were really surprised at how tasty it was – well, most of them! We then made our own piece of flat bread, which was cooked in the clay oven. Finally, we did our own cooking over the fire to make caramelised apples and smores. We then constructed a simple castle structure and tested our security with a flour bomb attack. We just about got away unscathed! We practised our soldier skills and then had a flour bomb fight to see if we could beat our opposition. It was a fabulous visit and we are now much more knowledgeable about different roles in a castle.

This week we have done a slice on ‘how can you shine your light?’ We have learnt about Diwali and Bonfire Night, including the history of Guy Fawkes. We spoke about Bonfire safety and created our own sparklers and fireworks pictures in provision, the children have worked so hard.

In 2L we are enjoying our new History Case Study. Today the children found out all about a significant person in our history, Queen Elizabeth II. We learned about her life and then put important events into chronological order on a timeline.
We learned lots of facts about her. Did you know her favourite castle was Balmoral Castle in Scotland? Oliver thought it would be very peaceful there away from the crowds in London.
Check out our timelines.

We are Historians!
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.

We are enjoying our paired reading
Kyryl and Raegan have really enjoyed reading to learn more about World War Two together every Tuesday morning. Their faces say it all…look how happy and engaged they both are!
Well done boys, you make a great team. I wonder what facts you can remember?

Old, Special Bear
In expedition today we were historians and looked at a very old special bear. The children worked collaboratively to make a jigsaw of Mrs Bubb’s old bear. We discussed what the curiosity box bear means to Mr Meade’s dad and how he has looked after it for 65 years. The children said how they knew it was old by the faded colour, the fur and how it was really floppy. The children then drew their families and special bears they have at home. #LovePlover

Meet F2BP crew bear “Sunshine”
Welcome our crew bear… Sunshine!
In expedition we learnt about the history of how teddy bears are made. We then discussed the instructions on how to make a bear. As a crew we worked together to build a bear. We described how our new bear felt and shared kindness messages for our crew bear. In crew, we showed democracy to vote for the name of our crew bear from the children’s suggestions. There were lots of names that the children came up with but the winning name was Sunshine.
The children are very excited to look after Sunshine.
