Jobs Week!




This week was a special week as it was Jobs Week!

We were very lucky to have several visitors come in and tell us all about their jobs.

Our first visitor was Tash who is a nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Tash told us all about what she has to do everyday at work and how she became a nurse.

Telling us about Florence Nightingale.

Look at all the things nurses have to do!

We got to practise different jobs a nurse has to do.

Look into my eyes!

Talking about germs!

Our second visitor was Emma, an education officer from the Charity Dogs Trust. We were even lucky enough to meet Luna, Emma's dog!

Emma taught us how to look after a dog properly. 

She also told us all about what happens at The Dogs Trust.

Luna was so well behaved!

She sat when she wanted a treat.

Sitting on a chair!

This is what we do if a dog comes up to us and we might feel scared.

You should always ask the owner if you are allowed to stroke their dog. Let them sniff you first!



Our third visitor was Mr Jeffries, a firefighter for the London Fire Brigade.

Mr Jeffries told us all about a firefighters role and all the things they have to do.



Showing us the helmet.

We got to try it on!

Taylor got to try on the gloves and Amelia tried on the jacket.


Wow! Those trousers and boots are huge!


Here is a video of Mr Jeffries teaching us what to do if we were to ever catch fire:



Practicing STOP DROP AND ROLL!
We were so inspired by our visitors that we decided to write a book about different jobs:









 Thank you to all our visitors. You've definitely made us think about what we would like to be when we grow up!

Sharing our blog

At school, we love to look at our blog so we can see what Mrs Shepherd has put on it.


We also like to give Mrs Shepherd suggestions of what could go on the blog.
Elsie said 'Can you put the video on that we watched in one of our e-safety lessons so I can watch it at home'.

We also like to look at the other class blogs to see what they have been up to!

15.11.16 - Mouse Skills

Today in our computing lesson, we learnt how to use the mouse correctly.


We spoke about where the palm of our hand and fingers should sit.

Eve explains in the video below, what we learnt today:



We experimented using the mouse, drawing different lines, dots, spots etc.






Once we felt confident enough, we then had a go at drawing a picture of a dog:





07.11.16 - Our School Trip to The Barbican

Today we went on a trip to the Barbican to watch the London Symphony Orchestra.

We had learnt some songs at school that we also got to sing at the concert.

We had a fantastic time. Have a look at the pictures!

On the train - we played I Spy!


Waiting patiently for the tube


Lots of us had never been on a tube before!


Happy to have arrived safely at Barbican Station!

Walking to The Barbican Centre - lovely and sunny!

Hooray! We've arrived!

Nice comfy seats - don't fall asleep anyone!
