The children were captivated by the fascinating facts and images shared by the sanctuary team, and it was a perfect way to bring the wonders of nature into our classroom. Then in the afternoon, we enjoyed our PE lesson with Mr Poplett, modelling different positions with our bodies!

On Tuesday, we celebrated Shrove Tuesday with enthusiasm, learning about its significance and tradition. We decorated our own pancake faces and wrote a list of ingredients for our own special (and extra sugary) pancakes. Of course, the highlight of the day was getting to eat them!

Thursday was extra special as we celebrated World Book Day. Everyone had fun dressing up as their favourite characters. It was fantastic to have our adults join us for the celebration, and we all enjoyed reading together and celebrating the magic of stories.

Our literacy work continued with the beloved story Dear Zoo, where the children wrote a short recount about our trip to the zoo last week. We finished the week with our outdoor learning, singing nursery rhymes and exploring the nature.

It’s been a week of fun, learning, and creativity in Reception, and we can’t wait to see what next week has in store!
