  • London Day!

    Published 16/11/21

    Today has been 'London Day' and what a day we've had!

    We may not have made it to London but today has certainly been the closest thing to being in our capital city itself. 

    Wearing our red, white and blue, we have; stepped into a London map, giving each other directions to reach famous landmarks; followed Aunt Lucy's recipe and weighed out ingredients to make Paddington's Orange Marmalade Cakes. We've worked as a team to read clues on our London Treasure Hunt, finding the treasure in Paddington's boots; learnt and sang London themed songs; shared London stories and this afternoon we've made pop-up maps of London. 

    We hope you enjoy our photographs.

  • Paddington Coins

    Published 12/11/21

    This week the children have been looking at very special Paddington Bear 50 pence pieces. Then we used a watercolour technique to paint our own Paddington coins. The children are very proud of their 50 pence piece gallery. Can you spot the famous London landmarks on the coins?

  • A mystery suitcase and marmalade sandwiches

    Published 01/11/21

    Amazon Class have had a wonderful day immersed in their new topic, 'We're Off to London!'

    The children came skipping in to school this morning, proudly clutching their London buses, telephone boxes and taxis, which are now adorning our windowsills and London board. A huge well done for your super half term creations, Amazon Class!

    When we came into school this morning, we spotted an unusual suitcase that had been left in the classroom.

    During our English lesson, we made predictions about who it might belong to by looking carefully at the travel stickers covering the suitcase. We were eager to look inside and once we had solved the problem of opening the lock, we were surprised to find; red wellington boots, a map of London, carefully wrapped marmalade sandwiches, a jar of orange marmalade, a Union Flag and a tag.

    Using our best detective skills, we decided that we think this suitcase may belong to Paddington Bear himself!

    We can't wait to see what tomorrow holds...
