Year 1 and 2 kicked off 2026 with a fantastic start to their new topic by spending a day celebrating important people who have helped shape the world. The children came dressed as their chosen historical icons, and we were so impressed with the effort that went into their costumes and the thought behind their choices. We had everyone from David Attenborough, Neil Armstrong and Florence Nightingale to David Bowie, Chloe Kelly and even Taylor Swift. Throughout the day, the children researched and shared information about their chosen hero, thinking about the different ways these individuals have made a difference. Over the term, they’ll be learning more about some of these icons and exploring how one person—through actions big or small—can have a lasting impact on the world around them.
