With Mother’s Day approaching fast we have started to paint pictures of our Mummies. We have been thinking about facial features including the colouring of hair, eyes and skin. In ICT we have used a paint programme to design our own wrapping paper. We have been focussing on telling the time this week in Maths, […]
Reception had a fantastic trip to Bocketts Farm this week. We learned how to milk a goat, feed the animals with our palms flat and even had the opportunity to stroke a cockerel, rabbit and guinea pig. The tractor ride was very bumpy and the lunch was delicious!

We have written our first holiday news this week and we all tried […]

In class we hunted for some of our new tricky words amongst the leaves and practised our word building skills in […]
