Who Are You Going To Call?

The Good Samaritan

In our lesson, we explored the story of the Good Samaritan. The children discussed what they thought was the most important part and reflected on the moral of the story. They were able to discuss with each other about how we should always strive to help others whenever we can and treat everyone fairly. We also talked about how people in the emergency services work tirelessly to help everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

What To Do In An Emergency...

Why Do We Have Rules?

In our class, we discussed why rules are important in our community. Rules help keep us safe and make our lives better. For example, when we cross the road, we must look left and right. This rule helps us avoid accidents. We also talked about other rules, like being kind to our neighbours and keeping parks clean. To share our ideas, we created an amazing poster on Seesaw. Each of us wrote about rules we must obey to keep our community a nice place to live. Remember, following these rules means everyone can enjoy a safe and happy environment together!

Hospitals - Then & Now

The children enjoyed comparing hospitals from Victorian times to modern ones. We had some great discussions about which hospital they would prefer to visit and why, with each opinion sparking even more curiosity. It was hard for them to believe that operations were performed in candlelight! They were genuinely fascinated by the thought of medical practices back then, and it led to a lively conversation about advances in healthcare. 

Open Afternoon

A Memorable Open Afternoon with Emergency Services

For our open afternoon, the children were lucky enough to have local emergency services join us to discuss their roles. We had a nurse who spoke about the crucial care provided to premature babies, highlighting the importance of early medical intervention. The police arrived with their specialist equipment, including fingerprint detection kits, shields, helmets, walkie-talkies, and even a sniffer dog named Rolo, which was a huge hit with the kids!

Additionally, our paramedics showcased the inside of their ambulance, explaining the day-to-day responsibilities they undertake to keep our community safe. To make the experience even more enriching, representatives from the Heritage Park brought along historical equipment used by the police years ago. This allowed the children to compare the past and present resources that law enforcement relied on. It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to learn and engage with our dedicated emergency services!

Let's get Creative!

We have been looking at the artist Pablo Picasso this half term. The children have enjoyed learning about his life and looking at his artwork. They have explored their creative side by making their own Picasso drawings. Each child tried out different shapes, colours, and styles, just like Picasso did.

Artist: Paul Klee

The children really enjoyed learning about Paul Klee and attempting his art work.

Scientists - Investigating Materials

The children planned an investigation to test different materials for hardness, flexibility, and waterproof properties. They decided what materials they would like to test and completed the investigations independently.
