This morning Reception joined up with Nursery.  We also looked at why Good Friday is called Good. Then we looked at lots of different crosses and designed our own cross. 

This week we having been learning all about the book, Dear Zoo. Reception have written their own Dear Zoo story and we have made our own zoo map. 

We had so much fun yesterday celebrating World Book Day. We got to dress up as our favourite character, listen to a new story and the Year 4s came down to read to us. What an amazing day we had. 

Today we learnt all about Chinese New Year. We made our own dragon mask and then created a dragon dance. We also tried to use chopsticks and pick things up with them, it was tricky. 

We arrived today at school and found some dinosaur eggs. We found a note it said “we are lost, please help”. We are now searching for their owners. 

This term our topic is superheroes. The police came in and we got to ask lots of questions about what they do and how they help us. We also got to dress up in police costumes. We had so much fun.

We have some new visitors this week. We are being real life superheroes and looking after two Guinea pigs. We will help to feed them and check they have water.

Today we took part in the national bird count. We saw two pigeons and four crows!

We used our binoculars to look up 8th the trees.

This week we have started listening to the stories Jesus would have heard when he was a little boy. We decided to make our own arks and fill them with animals. The story is really good for supporting our counting.

We did maths outside today. We had some spots that had numbers and dots on, it was our job to find our matching pair. We then made our own hopscotch and counted as we played. 

On Monday this week 2 fishes came to visit Nursery. We are going to use our super friend hands to help look after them.
