Thank you for the effort with the wonderful costumes today, that really brought our learning to life! We had builders, engineers, doctors, police, coffee shop assistants, fire fighters, ballerinas, vets, tennis players, explorers, coaches and hairdressers to name but a few! We have learnt all about the different types of jobs there are and what we might like to be when we grow up. We took part in some ‘Money sense’ lessons from Natwest, learning about how and where we might keep our money safe and also the difference between ‘wanting’ and ‘needing’ something.

To round off a brilliant day, we had a visit from a real Midwife, who taught us about her important job of looking after babies. A great day was had by all!

This week we have embraced the opportunity to learn about our King and the upcoming coronation, a moment in History.
We have read a variety of books about the King and the coronation.
We took part in our own democracy, thinking about the qualities a King or Queen might need and then holding a ballot to vote for our own class King and Queen, which were revealed this afternoon as part of the celebrations.
We got creative and each completed a portrait of the King, which will be turned into a masterpiece for a whole school monarchy timeline. We also made our very own golden crowns, complete with jewels for the party and to take home to wear. The week was completed with a class coronation party. We played games and had a jewel hunt. We also listened to the National Anthem.
We would love to see your own experiences of celebrating the coronation if you choose to do so over the weekend. We hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend.
