Halloween – October 2022
We had a great ‘Spooky Spectacular’ day! It was lovely for the children to bring their grown-ups in to school in the morning to see their classroom and books as well as joining us for a special ‘Wakey Shakey’!
It was great fun to see everyone’s fantastic costumes as well as all of the brilliant pumpkins for our competition. The disco was a super end to the busy day! Thank you to all the parents and carers for your support.
Derby Cathedral – The Gaia Installation – October 2022

Introduction to World War I – Chronology – September 2022
To begin our new unit of work, Peacock Class will be recapping key historical events and periods which they have studied previously to help them place World War I on a timeline. This will help to develop our understanding of chronology and talk about events which came before and after.
