Martin Luther King – How did he change our future?

Today, we have been learning more about Martin Luther King who peacefully protested for equal rights for all black people. We learned about how this man’s willingness to stand up for what was right made vital changes to laws so black people had equal rights. Some great discussions and mini crew work to start building background knowledge.

Learning in provision

Crew Welburn were so excited to see a new addition to our role play today – a supermarket! The children couldn’t wait to get into their choosing time to go and explore and it was definitely the busiest areas of the classroom today! The children showed how well they could share resources, take turns and develop their own story lines in their role play. Some of the children even showed off their writing skills by independently writing a list of items that they wanted to buy from the shop – amazing work Crew Welburn!

The children also used our healthy vegetables to explore different prints in the workshop, and made real Mr Potato Heads out of vegetables while explain what each part represented! Such a fun day for us all!

Significant events

As we continue through our History case study, we started to think about significant events and how these have impacted today’s society.

We started with a silent conversation where children had to think about what the image showed and when in history it took place.

Once we had finished discussing the events and when we thought they happened. It was time to match the image with the statement before putting them in chronological order. Lovely to see that some children already had some prior knowledge of these events such as Titanic, the Queen’s coronation.

Today MI finish PP2
