We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming back our pupils, as well as getting to know our new starters. It has been wonderful to see how quickly the children are settling into The Explorers, and we have loved getting to know them better over the past few weeks. We are looking forward to an exciting term ahead, filled with new learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

For our topic, we have been learning about people who help us<\/strong>. We learned about the roles of the emergency services, what an emergency is and who we can go to for help in school and the wider community.<\/p>\n
