Borough Bear Story Competition

Elder Class is super proud of Atiksh as he wrote an amzing story about Borough Bear and his adventures with his friend Atiksh and won first prize!

Jigsaw

During Jigsaw this half term, we are learning how to be healthy. We investigated what happened to our bodies when we did exercise. We realised, we got out of breath, warmer and when we felt our hearts they were beating faster. We got ourselves into groups and a performed a secret exercise for our friends to guess. We were great actors and detectives. We also had lots of fun too! Can you try acting out different exercises at home?

Continents

During our topic lessons, we have been learning all about the continents of the world. We learned there are 7 continents and they are called, Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica, Australia North and South America. We found out if we visited America, we could find black bears, beavers, guinea pigs and toucans. We also learned about the American flag and how it has 50 stars and 13 stripes. We were so impressed, we had a go at making our own using different materials.

Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion

This week we have be writing the story of Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion. Everybody has done an amazing job and we have been wowed by the super writing!

Oceans and continents!

In geography, we have been learning all about the 5 oceans and 7 continents. We can now place them on a map and identify some facts about each one.

Path to Paris!

Fairlands is taking part in Path to Paris, a programme designed to help children and their families get active together, try new things and most importantly: have fun! It's all about team spirit and building a habit of physical activity. Path to Paris uses the inspiration of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, to challenge children across the country to virtually travel to Paris by getting active.
