In class we have been learning about the life cycle of caterpillars by observing some in class. Once they turned into butterflies we set them free!

​Earlier in the year, we planted vegetables including radishes, potatoes, kale, lettuce, carrots and onions. We have been caring for them through out the year. Recently, they were fully grown and we pulled them up. We then washed, cooked and ate them. They were delicious!

​Reception have been lucky enough to have the Iroko Theatre Company visit them for six weekly sessions. These highly interactive sessions included learning to construct a story with accompanying actions and movements. One session was a drumming lesson, where children had to remember instructions to know when and what to play. Never has learning been so much fun!

​The children were entranced by the hilarious characters, over the top costumes and funky dance music. They're already looking forward to next year's show!

Our children have written and performed some amazing Poems!

Reception have been getting into the spirit of Christmas. They've learnt to wrap presents and write cards in the Elves' Workshop, practised their counting skills and even made some soup for Santa's reindeers. A child drew a pastel portrait of Santa to make sure we recognised him when he visited.

​Reception have been having a hentastic time in class. After joining in with retelling the story of the Little Red Hen with actions, they have been busy feeding hens, making puppets based on the story and cooking in the hen's very own bakery. They talked about how the hen was feeling after all her hard work and used their knowledge of sounds to write speech bubbles for her.
