The children had an amazing day, first enjoying nature in the beautiful gardens and then discovering more about the seasons at the workshop. They went on a scavenger hunt, matching photos to plants, collected Autumn treasure to make a wreath and planted pea seeds to grow back at school. 

Turtles took part in a music workshop held by Becki Driscoll. They had the chance to explore and play different instruments, learn our new school song and create their own band! It was great fun, there are lots of budding musicians in the class. 

To introduce our new topic the children created firework pictures using loose parts, created some glittery star art work and enjoyed some sparkly activities. 

Last Friday the children made Pudsey Bear headbands and learnt about Children in Need. 

The children leant about why we wear poppies and took part in the remembrance day two minute silence. They made their own poppies in different ways though the day. 

Reception's new topic is "Sparkle and Shine."
​The children explored creating the shapes, lines, sparkles and colours of  fireworks in lots of different ways with spectacular results!
