The children are very enthusiastic about our new topic, Bright Lights, Big City. They have been studying some of the famous landmarks and using simple compass directions on a map to give instructions on how to get to each one.

During Busy Bee time two pupils chose to recreate some of these landmarks, using resources from around the classroom. Can you spot the Houses of Parliament. the Queen Elizabeth Tower (complete with the Big Ben bell inside), the river Thames and the London Eye?

We have been reading stories about Paddington Bear and his adventures in London. He gets to visit all sort of famous places! We made our own marmalade sandwiches and ate them, before trying to write the ‘How to…’ instructions out in our English books.
The children thoroughly enjoyed spreading the butter, adding the marmalade and most of all tasting the results. One boy has stated that he is going to ask his mum if he can make them again at home over the weekend. A big hit in the Squirrels classroom!
