In nursery we talk about how to keep our bodies healthy. The children talked about how to keep their teeth clean and showed us what to do. All of the children got a new toothbrush to take home.

We worked in small groups to choose a scene out of ‘The Highwayman’ poem. Then we decided which character we each were and freeze framed the scene.

We went on a hunt around the classroom looking at a variety of different Anglo-Saxon sources. We decided if each piece of evidence was a primary or secondary source.
