Spring 1
Welcome back everyone!
We are excited to start our new topic "Who can help us?" where we will be learning about different jobs people do to help our community. We will be finding out about the different things that police officers, fire fighters, doctors and nurses do. Have a look at the books we will be using to support our topic.
We will be making up lots of our own emergencies and stories as well as finding out about how emergency vehicles have changed when we look at the past.
We hope to enjoy exploring lots of different changes in the garden as the season changes, we will be finding out about ice and snow before we start looking for the first signs of spring.
In Forest school we will be finding different ways we can help the birds by making them food and places to shelter.
Keep checking our website for new pictures and links to websites that can support the learning we are doing in school.
Thank you
Mrs Ali

Planning
E-Safety
When we learn about e-safety and being safe online or when using a tablet, we learn this song from the Smartie the Penguin story.
"Before we tap and click, we need to stop and think, and tell someone!"
