This week in Reception, we've had an absolutely, fabulous time!
On Tuesday, we delved into the fascinating world of plants, learning how to plant our own and discovering the different parts of a plant. We even got our hands dirty in the garden, planting seeds and watching them grow. We then explored what would happen if we tried to grow a bean in a sandwich bag… stay tuned for the results!
Wednesday, we spent time looking at and discussing the important jobs that our families and members of our community have. We discussed the special clothes that different professionals wear. The children came up with some brilliant examples, vets, doctors, builders, and job workers are just some examples.
On Thursday, we celebrated VE Day with a fabulous picnic, enjoying delicious food and fun activities with our fabulous families. It was a lovely way to commemorate the end of World War II and learn about history.
What a fantastic week of learning and fun!
