Geography 

This half term we have been on a walk around Whitworth, identifying key buildings and finding them on the map. We had lots of fun using the maps to navigate to certain points in Whitworth. We even had the opportunity to see inside the Lighthouse food bank, where we met Steve who told us all about the amazing work the The Lighthouse do!

Visit from the Firemen

Year 2 had a brilliant time when the Firemen came to talk to us about fire safety. We found out how to make a fire safety plan at home and what we should do if there is a fire, the importance of smoke alarms and what to do if our clothes set on fire. We had a lovely time acting out our fire safety plans and trying on the uniforms!

Black History Week 

As part of our Black History week we have been learning about Rosa Parks. 

Rosa was a member of a civil rights group which fought for black and white people to be treated the same. She was arrested and taken to jail for a few hours when she refused to give up her seat for a white man. 

Yoga 

We have had fun this week practising our yoga!

Harold the Giraffe came to visit!

This week Emma from Life education (Scarf) brought Harold to visit. We had a lovely lesson learning all about our feelings and how we can help others.
