Topic: Heroes

Thursday 08 May 2025

Our topic this half term,  Heroes, focuses on significant people throigh history that have made a difference to others and inspired people. We have been looking real life heroes in particular-Nelson Mandela and Leonora Cohen.

The children are learning about their lives and beliefs.

They have been using vocabulary such as apartheid and suffragette to describe what these two historic people stood up for and the difference they made to others.

Last week, it was wonderful to see the children dress up as their real-life heroes. From footballers and teachers to members of the emergency services and soldiers, the variety was fantastic. Some children also chose to honour historical figures who have made a lasting impact, including Florence Nightingale, Alan Turing, Ole Kirk Kristiansen, and a suffragette.
