Blog – 19th November 2021

Year 1/2

This week the children have had a busy week! They have completed their Geography Topic and have found out about the four countries which make up the UK and each countries capital city. The children are really excited to be learning about our History topic of the Great Fire of London.  We are even learning a song about it with actions.  In PE many of the children have been practicing outside of school and are becoming great gymnasts being able to successfully use their bodies to safely do a bridge pose.

We have discussed bullying in all its forms during anti bullying week and have ended the week on a high celebrating Children in Need.
