It was lovely to have Isabella's mum come into school today to teach us some Chinese words and tell us the story behind the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.  We found out that all the children in the class were either born in the year of the rooster or the year of the monkey.  We then had a go at…

Reception had an enjoyable day learning about cultural diversity within our class. We looked at where places were on the map and the children spoke about their countries. 

To help decorate our school for multicultural week we researched flags from around the world and chose one to draw ourselves.

As part of multicultural week we had a look at Mexico.

We then had a walk around Friend’s Garden and had our…

This week we have been using knives to chop food. We have talked about safety and tried the bridge method to keep our fingers safe.

Today, we started our unit on ‘Living things and their Habitats’. We worked in small groups to sort living things into different categories and discussed the life processes that living things need to happen to be able to survive.

Today we had a great time trying out crown green bowling with Coach Dan. It was lovely and sunny and we really enjoyed trying a different sport. It wasn’t always easy to hit the target but we showed great perseverance and determination (even in the heat!).
