This term, the children studied Loddington as our local area in Geography! We loved looking at historical artefacts of what Loddington used to look like and how it has changed. To fully engage in our topic, the children went on numerous field trips around the village but also used digi maps to aid our learning.  To wrap up our topic, the children made their own maps of Loddington and we had so much fun following our routes around the village. We were also very fortunate to celebrate Chinese Lunar day! This year is the year of the snake! We loved making up our own dragon dance and tasting a variety of different foods. We have really enjoyed our science topic of materials and have enjoyed looking in our immediate area at what materials we could see, the children will continue this into spring 2 delving deeper into the properties of different materials.

During our forest school sessions, the children have fully engaged in looking at the nature and animals around them looking at what they can see in our local wetlands. The children have also designed their own dens and thought about what materials could be used to design their own dens.
