Paddington's Passport
06.03.2026 Learning about Continents and Countries
This week we have focussed on finding out where Paddington Bear came from! We've used atlases, maps and the globe to look at countries and continents, and discussed where in the world we have been to.
One child told us that the capital city of Bulgaria is Sofia, in the continent of Europe; another that in North America, Ottowa is the capital city of Canada. Together, we found many other examples.
We enjoyed the group jigsaw challenge of putting together a world map highlighting the continents, and loved singing the Continent Song (listen out for it on our class assembly!) as well as playing continent twister!

One Day Many Ways
We made fantasy terrariums for a magical creature and wrote instructions.
In our Dimensions topic work we tasted and cooked breakfasts from around the world.
We learned to chop, peel, grate, slice, whisk, spread, pour, measure, stir, mix, spinkle and stir.
As part of the Dimensions Science curriculum we looked at different food groups and decided which of our breakfasts gave us a balanced meal.
