We are learning lots about People Who Help us while developing many important skills!

We thought of what we already know about this and came up with questions we’d like to research.

 

 

 

 

 

We thought of all the people who help us in our community.  We hid a picture of someone whose job it is to help us from our partner and gave them clues.  They had to try to guess the person’s job from our clues! We tried not to make the clues too easy!

Gurleen- ‘This person uses cement in their job.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We drew pictures of different people who help us and used our writing skills to label the pictures.

Gurleen wanted to learn ” How do police officers help us?” We talked about police officers -their uniform, what they need to do their job and how they help us, We know they use helicopters, horses, motorcycles, dogs, cars and vans! We drew pictures of police officers at work adding lots of detail to help tell our story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

London- ”The police are chasing the burglar. A helicopter is in the sky.”

Aria wanted to know, ”How can police dogs help the police? ”

We learned about police dogs but we were also very keen to learn about how dogs help us in other ways.  We watched a text, listening carefully for information, and shared what we had learned with each other. We drew pictures of dogs in their different roles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also learned about firefighters.  Kerr asked ”Where do fire engines get water from?” We have been on the lookout for fire hydrants out in the street. Lots have been spotted! We created a collage with tissue of flames burning and talked about the hot colours-red, yellow, orange. We used our fine motor skills to tear the tissue to the right size and to cut out the fire engine  which was coming to the rescue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed creating a town for our small world People who help Us toys.  We designed buildings including a medical centre and fire station. Scarlett drew a train conductor! We worked well together to decide what else was needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lewis-”The builder is building houses”

We had a visit from our lollipop lady! We thought of questions and shared what we knew about road safety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well done P1a!
