Our International Community

You may know that it was Chinese New Year very recently and our Reception children really threw themselves into learning about this other culture. We wrote Chinese symbols, we made lanterns, we made paper plate rabbits because this year is year of the rabbit and we even ate some Chinese food!

We have really enjoyed learning about another culture from around the world.

Our trip to the Planetarium

Reception thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the planetarium at the Centre for Life last week. We got to sit back and see the stars as though we were in space! This 'launched' our topic about space and the children behaved fabulously.
A big thank you to the planetarium and to our parent helpers.

Things That Grow - Reception's spring topic

The children really enjoyed this topic last term and were very interested in watching the progress of plants and animals growing. The highlight of the topic was watching our butterflies emerging from their cocoons and setting them free! We have seen them flying about the gardens and we are always sure to say a big HELLO!
