Visit from the Salvation Army
A special thank you to the Salvation Army team in Pinxton - we had a lovely afternoon at both John King and Longwood learning about the history of the organisation and how they make a difference to people's lives through supporting and helping those who need it. It was great to make learning links to the rules that Christians follow as part of our RE knowledge!
Visit from a nurse
Thank you so much to our nurse visitor who came to speak to us about how hospitals and the NHS had changed. We discussed the pandemic and even before that, with some great experiential pictures to really make the learning come alive!

We had great fun this week using really specific language to compare numbers; 'fewer, more and same' then 'less than, greater than and equal to' Watch how we build the numbers using cubes to help us compare them, then use the correct symbol. We are superstars!
