We are Historians.

25th September 2025Mr Pickering

2P have been History detectives as we explored the events of the Great Fire of London. We pieced together evidence to see if we could work out who or what was to blame for the fire starting and spreading. We discussed the evidence from different sources and concluded that it was the result of several factors, including the weather, Thomas Farriner, the Lord Mayor of London, and the way houses were built. We followed that up by looking at evidence from different artefacts that archaeologists have discovered, along with diary evidence from Samuel Pepys, to work out what we could learn about London in 1666. We are getting really good at identifying the cause and effects of events at the time!

Literacy Kicks Journalist Workshop

25th September 2025Joshua Meade

Thank you to Gareth from #LiteracyKicks #SportingHeritage #WomenInRugbyLeague for leading a Rugby League journalism workshop with our Y5/6 children! The children were immersed in the rise of women’s rugby league, due to the Hall of Fame 1996 Lionesses team! We were lucky to have Jill Adam a local inspirational role model who was an integral part of that team! The children wrote some awesome articles! #LovePlover

Miss Polly …

19th September 2025elister

This week we have enjoyed caring for our babies. We learnt the nursery rhyme Miss Polly and we cared for and gave the babies a bath to feel better. This led onto a discussion about being hygienic and looking after ourselves. We also explored full and empty concepts in Maths.

Party Games – F2M Democracy

18th September 2025Joshua Meade

Our key text this week has been ‘It’s My Birthday’. Yesterday, the children were able to work collaboratively to sequence the animals and match the ingredients they used to make a birthday cake. Today, we discussed how people are different and like different things. We talked about different birthday presents and which party games we like. We voted and created a bar chart. It was lovely to see the children continue the party games in provision! #LovePlover
