Careers Week
Children welcomed visits from a dentist and the fire brigade. They enjoyed learning how to keep their teeth clean and healthy, as well as gaining an understanding of the role of firemen, including their responsibilities and the equipment they use. The sessions were engaging and informative, providing the children with valuable insight into these important professions.

Children enjoyed engaging with our topic ‘Long, Long Ago’, which focused on dinosaurs. During the topic, they discovered an egg in the classroom and eagerly shared their ideas about why it might be a dinosaur egg. They observed it closely each day, waiting with great excitement to see if it would hatch. They learnt about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, and investigated replica dinosaur poo to identify which type of diet each dinosaur might have had. Throughout the topic, the children took part in a wide range of activities and even created their own dinosaur models and habitats as part of their homework.
