It is 2022!

Fir class have had a wonderful first week back to school! It was lovely to see everyone sharing their half-term news and all excited to see their friends.

For our term 3 WOW DAY, we became Kings and Queens for the day to introduce our new topic ‘monarchs’ in particular Queens. This week we explored the life of Queen Elizabeth I and found out some very interesting facts about her and her life. We will also be looking at Queen Victoria in week 2. We are excited to compare how life has changed since these two queens ruled in Britain.

As part of our WOW DAY, we made crowns which we wore to our royal breakfast banquet. We had so much fun!!

In the afternoon, we researched the life and lifestyle of Queen Elizabeth I. We used fact files and iPads to find out lots of information in three small groups and watched a video. We shared our new facts with each other at the end of the session and wrote down all our new amazing facts about Queen Elizabeth I. Fir class couldn’t believe that she sometimes wore a wig…!

Throughout the week in provision time, the children drew a self-portrait of themselves as a King or Queen. We have a class full of amazing artists in Fir class!
