This term, our project is focused on learning about the Emergency Services and people who help us. In science we will be looking at how living things grow and change over time and how to keep ourselves healthy. In history we will be learning about the work of Mary Seacole and the lessons that we can still learn today from her story. In art we will be looking at battenburg patterns and the badges of our emergency services. We will learn about primary colours, colour mixing and we will design some badges of our own.
Throughout our project work we will be making links to the following Children's Rights:
Article 13 - The right to reliable information
Article 19 - The right to stay safe from harm
Article 24 - The right to the best possible healthcare
Article 29 - The right to learn about their own and others cultures
Article 30 - The right of minority children to practise their own culture

Being Me in My World & Celebrating Difference
Our JIGSAW Puzzle piece for PSHE this half term is ‘Being in My World’. In class and at play we will learn how everyone is a valued part of the school community, recognising feelings of pride when we or someone else has made a good choice or been brave with their learning. We will learn about our rights as set out in the UNCRC, share ideas on ways to maximise learning in the classroom and agree our Class Charter. We will look at our responsibilities to both ourselves and others, and the rewards and consequences that may follow as a result of our own actions
After half term our Puzzle piece is ‘Celebrating Difference’. In this piece we learn about diversity by finding similarities between ourselves and others. We will begin to look at simple assumptions and stereotypes and raise questions about these, eg; “all girls don’t like football and can’t play it” - Is this true? We will learn to value difference in ourselves and others, and understand that it is not an acceptable reason for unfair treatment. We will develop a clearer idea of what bullying looks like and how to get help if we or someone else needs it.
