Safety First

Thursday, September 22nd, 2010We have been talking about safety. We watched and sang some fun safety songs (you can see them in the links on the History and Geography page). Some of the safety tips we talked about were
  • playing away from roads, keeping our eyes and ears open when crossing roads
  • wearing bright clothes and reflectors so cars can see us
  • walking on paths, not on the road
  • wearing seat belts and travelling in car seats or booster seats in the car
  • not letting mum or dad talk on the phone when driving

We alway STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK before we cross the street.

Stop, look and listen

Before you cross the street

Use your eyes, use your ears

Then use your feet!

History: Baby clothes line

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
We have been talking about when we were babies, what we looked like, what we were able to say/do/eat. We have brought some of our baby photos and our baby clothes and things to school so we could all have a look at the things we used when we were tiny babies. We have grown a lot since then, and can do so much more. The stories of us as babies are all history stories - stories of (not so) long ago.

Toy time line

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
In our history lesson we have been talking about life now and long ago. We used the interactive whiteboard to travel through time and see a house from Victorian times. We also saw teddies, dolls and cars from different times. We looked at boats, trains and aeroplanes from different times too. Teacher showed us lots of toys that our grandparents might have played with. For homework we were asked to bring in toys that we played with as babies, and toys that we still play with. We saw books and a CD that someone used as a baby and lots of interesting toys that we still use. Lastly we saw an amazing dinosaur that was made from lego today - a new toy showing an animal that lived a very long time ago!
