PADDINGTON
We have had so much fun during our Spring 2 topic Paddington. We kicked off the topic with a teddy bears picnic complete with Paddington and marmalade sandwiches! We painted portraits of Paddington. Then we explored the sights of London on our London bus.
Next we had a trip to Paddington's home country Peru. We explored landmarks in Peru including Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain. We also created sand artwork based on the Nazca lines. We also listened to music from Peru and we played games that children in Peru play.
To finish our topic off we had a dress up as a country day. We came to school dressed in our country's colours or as an animal from that country. We shared facts about our country, made flags and learnt how to say hello in the language of our country.
