Reception

Spring 

Each week the children build on from previous skills and develop relationships with nature, peers and the wider world. During our spring term, they enjoyed helping to make our pond. This is the initial stages whilst the ground is too hard to dig. We planted lots of sunflowers that we had been growing in class. We hope these grow really tall and sunny. 

Summer term.  The children have been learning about the coast, near and far.  We have been learning in class all about Mary Anning, who is famous for finding fossils whilst at the coast back in 1823. She found so many that eventually she’d found a complete Plesiosaurus.  Miss Tucker brought in a collection of Ammonites to show the children. The children gained so much from touching them, discussing their size, weight and patterns. During our sessions the children have used our natural fallen treasures to make an Ammonite and Plesiosaur. The children were really engaged and took their time. I think they look great!
