In Year 3, for World First Aid Day, we looked at bites and stings. We looked at the different animals that can bite or sting and then we sorted the animal into whether they bite or sting.

We then looked at how to treat bites or stings and what to do if someone suffers from an allergic reaction after a bite or a sting.

In Year 2, we had lots of fun dressing up for Careers Day! We had vets, doctors, singers, footballers, a pilot, a police officer, YouTubers and even ‘Mini Mrs Cottrells’. 😀😀😀

As part of Careers Week, Year 2 enjoyed visits from some very special guests who shared their exciting jobs with us.

We were fascinated to meet Tom, a British Airways pilot, who told us all about his daily role, the important safety checks he completes before every flight, and the many amazing destinations he has travelled to around the world. We even had the chance to pretend we were landing an aeroplane and were thrilled to try on his pilot’s hat!

We also welcomed a hairdresser called Sam, who explained what it’s like to work in a salon and shared some of the skills needed to care for and style hair. She told us that her favourite hairstyle that she has ever done was one for the Olympics!

The visits were a fantastic way to inspire our children and help them learn about a variety of careers. A big thank you to our visitors for giving up their time to make Careers Week so memorable!

As part of our PSHE unit ‘Healthy Me’, Year 2 have been looking at different ways to have a healthy body and mind. Today, we looked at how we can create healthy snacks and why they are important. We decided that they were important because they have lots of vitamins in them that help to keep us healthy and strong!

Our teachers asked us to create healthy snacks at home and bring them into school to try! It was wonderful to see the variety of snacks that were made! From fruit kebabs, fruit salad, blueberry oat cookies, raspberry and strawberry muffins, banana loaf to rice cakes with hummus and so much more!! They were delicious!!

Here are some pictures of us making our snacks and of course, tasting them!!
