We Love to explore outside!
In Reception we love to be outdoors. We love exploring the nature garden, building obstacle courses and digging in the sand! We are trying really hard to be independent when putting on our wellies, coats and waterproofs! We have even been helping our friends zip up their coats! Great teamwork!

Wonderful Weather
This half term we have learning about the weather. We went on a winter walk around school to spot the signs of Winter. We found snow, ice, frost, berries and frozen cobwebs.
We have also been learning about where in the world we can find polar bears and penguins. We used google maps to find where we live and where polar bears and penguins live.

How can we help birds during the winter?
During this half term we have been learning how different animals survive during the winter months. This week we are taking part in the Big School Bird Watch. We have been learning about the different birds we might find in our school grounds. We have made bird feeders to encourage birds to come and visit us! I wonder what birds you can spot when you are at home?
Design and technology
In Year 1 we have designed and made a moving drawbridge. We tested different materials to see how strong they were. We used this information to design and make our own drawbridges. The drawbridge opens and closes when twisting the straw! Great work Year 1!
Search for a Hero!
This half term we are learning about people that help us within our community. We have had some special visitors to school to tell us all about their jobs and how they help people. We have been busy creating our own emergency vehicles outside and designing our own emergency vehicles - ready to make using junk modelling!
