Fox class has had a brilliant and exciting week. We began by having a Police Officer coming in to talk about the role of the Police and how they help us in and around the community! We even got to try on some real police uniforms! We looked at the role of 'Firefighters' this week as our next service in the 'People Who Help Us' topic and read 'Charlie the Firefighter' as a whole class. We had some good discussions about the role of a firefighter and how the fire service has changed over the years. In maths, we enjoyed continuing our learning of number bonds and extending our learning through making number sentences. We also enhanced our learning experience by carrying out the following activities;

-Colour mixing (making orange) to create fire pictures

-Using our fine motor skills to create paper Fire Engines.

-Building a firefighters' obstacle course in our construction area

-Practising our phonics skills by writing tricky words and labelling the parts of a fire engine!

-Enjoying our firefighters' small world tuff tray

-Enhancing our gross motor skills by practising some Yoga stretches in Gymnastics.

-Playing pretend in our fire station and police station areas. 

-Using Duplo to build our very own fire stations and fire engines.
