Updates:

The children in Hedgehog class have been learning all about black history month recently, they each showed a great level of engagement and eagerly participated in activities that encouraged more knowledge on this topic. They listened to stories and facts, and they each displayed how much they enjoyed hearing about historic people that made a massive difference with their contributions and achievements to ensure racial equality, freedom and the impact of black heritage.

The children read through a variety of books/reading materials and looked at some art displays, they designed their own masks with ideas from artist displaying a range of African masks. They listened to stories and music of people from different cultures and ended with a jam session in which the children danced alongside their peers and enjoyed some reggae music.

Some of the children in Hedgehog class had a great time being out in the community, they began with an adventurous ‘look and mark’ tally chart, in which the children were set a mission to see who could spot the most in regards to the things on the list. Some children showed great team work sharing and tallying up what they could see and some displayed how competitive they were when taking part, each of them had a great time whilst on the journey.

The children then had the chance to visit a supermarket, they happily looked at all the variety of foods that were there, expressing their favourite foods what they liked and disliked. The children were asked to decide on a healthy snack and a unhealthy snack, they then went on a search for their chosen treats and then paid at the check out.

The children shared how much they enjoyed the trip out which was lovely to see. #outinthecommunity #shopping #delamereschool#environment
