Wow! What a fantastic week we have had in Reception.

Reception had lots of fun enjoying a cup of hot vimto and a piece of parkin around a little bonfire!!

Today the children kicked,crunched and threw all the lovely colourful leaves. They then made a leaf kebab with some  of their favourite leaves. It was quite tricky to not tear the delicate leaves when threading them onto a stick....but they did it!!

It was blue and yellow groups turn to go in the eco garden for Forest School today and it was very muddy indeed!!!!!! Lots of fun and all the boys and girls can't wait to go in our woodland area for even muddier Fun after half term!!!!!

Red and green groups had lots of soggy fun on Friday in the eco garden for the first Forest School session of the new school year!!!!! 

The children caught raindrops on their tongues, played hide and seek, met some slithery new friends and had lots of silly fun in the fresh air!! 

Well done…
