Team CW have been learning that International Women's Day celebrates the achievements of women across the world. During their Inspirational History Dress Up Day they were shocked to learn that in the past women in our country did not have the same opportunities as men. Some of the children had dressed as Emmeline Pankhurst, a suffragette. They know International Women's Day celebrates the achievements that women have made to our community, country and across the world.
They learnt about Wangari Maathai, an environmentalist from Africa who was lucky to go to school and university and achieve different qualifications. They know she fought against people who were destroying the Kenyan landscape by cutting down trees, and she even went to prison. They were relieved to learn that Wangari never stopped believing, and never stopped fighting and was finally voted in as a member of parliament and able to make changes to protect the Kenyan environment. She even helped other countries to make changes and helped protect our world for future generations. Team CW made some trees in the creative area to celebrate Wangari's achievements. They practised their cutting and snipping skills and helped develop their motor skills by twisting small bits of tissue paper into blossom flowers. Their blossom trees look beautiful!

Team JD have been focussing on The Anglo-Saxon period of British history in recent weeks, beginning with an exciting archaeological dig to find artefacts of the Sutton Hoo dig site!
Team JD thoroughly enjoyed putting themselves in the role of an archaeologist, discovering items, discussing their significance and finding out more about the Anglo-Saxon era. Team JD look forward to learning how The Anglo-Saxons lived, their roles in day-to-day life and their cultural beliefs. |
