This half-term we have been learning all about Paddington Bear's adventures in London!

We had an unexpected visitor drop into our classroom over the weekend...

They left a few of their belongings behind.   Can you guess who it might be?

During Black History week we learned about Mary Seacole. 

Her life and work inspired us to write some poems about kindness.
