James and his bug hunt!
James has sent us some lovely photos of his bug hunt.
James found a few bugs & discussed with his Mummy and Daddy where they found the different ones – ladybird on a twig, woodlouse under a rock/brick , worms under plant pots.
When they came back inside, he looked up the woodlouse to check the name & talked about its features as well as the other mini beasts we found.
James then drew each one we found & his Mummy helped him to sound talk & label them. He wanted to also make them in card so he could play with them & he had the idea to make the habitats for them! He made each as we’d found them so on a duplo twig, under a brick /cushion & the worm under its ‘plant pot’!
We researched and talked about why they might like these particular habitats – relating it to what they need/eat etc. James could tell his Mummy and Daddy about it afterwards, what a woodlouse eats etc.
He really enjoyed doing this today! & learning outdoors is always nice 🙂

Reception Christmas Picnic!
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Because of COVID restrictions, we can’t sing our usual Christmas songs, or have a nativity in school.
This doesn’t mean that the children are missing out completely on Christmas though.
Base 8, our Year One class has learned to sign ” We wish you a Merry Christmas” and we wish to share it with you all.
Merry Christmas – get ready for cuteness overload!
