This term, the children have not only focused on texts and a historical figure (Florence Nightingale) promoting the ‘SUPER selves’ topic, but R1 also had the opportunity to meet som e superheroes within our community and people who help us! We have been extremely lucky to have visits from Kettering fire service, paramedics and the police! On top of this super selection, the children also received special talks from other professionals such as a midwife, builder, lifeboat and rescue, sport figures and a vet/charity talk! This really opened the children’s eyes up to understanding the world around them and really bringing the topic to life. In class, the children indulged in great conversations and produced some beautiful work to coincide with the topic! What a fabulous first term we’ve had!

On top of our SUPER selves topic, the children have attended forest school fortnightly and we even managed to squeeze in a walk around the village incorporating senses and Autumn into our lovely walk. During forest school, the children have had the opportunity to enhance their gross motor by building obstacle courses using the nature around them and resources. The children also demonstrated the creative streaks they all have and produced some wonderful supertato collages using nature, leaf skewers and completed some natural scavenger hunts. We look forward to what next term brings!
