Reception Class Visited by a Firefighter!

On Thursday, Martha’s Dad Daniel, who is a firefighter came to visit Reception class as part of their topic, ‘People Who Help Us.’ The children listened beautifully as he talked about his job and asked them questions about what a firefighter does. He talked about smoke alarms and told the children to get their parents to check whether they have a smoke alarm at home and to check the battery. Mrs Tomes had the opportunity to try on all the firefighter kit…it is sooo heavy! The children then had the chance to try on Daniel’s helmet. Many thanks to Daniel to taking the time to visit us. More photos on the website this weekend.

Year 2 Portraits

Having looked at some amazing paintings on our trip to Hampton Court Palace, Year 2 decided we could make our own portraits in the style of Hans Holbein. We started by making the playdough for our faces and then went onto the field to find natural resources for our features. Some of us have used feathers in our caps to show just how royal we are!

Next week we will be using technology and collage to make another portrait with different medium, before moving on to painting.
