Our topic this term is: Who are you going to call?

Imagination is going to take the children to a faraway place – who will they call when someone is in trouble? Maybe they need a superhero to save the day or a Doctor to make them feel better. Children will also develop their understanding of the world around them, by finding out about a variety of people within the community who help other people.  

As we talk about the lives of the people around us and their roles in society, we begin to use pretend play to think beyond the ‘here and now’ and to understand another perspective. We also begin to realise that our actions have an effect on the world.

Something disastrous has happened in Orange Class and all over Dover- Evil Peas have escaped the freezer! We watched the newsflash as they told us all about the tragedy, then we got our investigative skills together in order to find the missing peas. We used our knowledge of tally charts to record how many we’d found. We felt like such superheroes, but who would you call to save the day?
