On Friday, Reception went on a great adventure to Edinburgh Zoo.  We enjoyed the metro, train, bus and not to mention seeing all the amazing animals.  We caught a glimpse of Addy the new baby sloth and we were so excited to sneak a peek at  David Attenbara, the baby capybara!  After waving goodbye to all the animals, we enjoyed our McDonalds on the journey home, with very tired legs and teachers too!

On Friday, Reception enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tasting the rainbow! We tried raspberry, watermelon, melon, kiwi, pineapple, plum, lemon, mango and blueberries.

We were very resilient and tried new fruits that we haven’t had before or ones that we didn’t think that we liked. Some very funny faces when trying the lemon!

As part of Reception’s topic ‘Ready Steady Grow’, reception have been creating fruit artwork inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

On Friday, Reception visited Bill Quay Farm to start their new topic ‘Ready Steady Grow’. We fed the pigs, petted the goats, stroked a rabbit and ferret and observed the alpacas, geese, ducks and emus. We then enjoyed our lunch on the cozy old double decker bus.

Reception enjoyed World Book Day today, we started the day with breakfast with a book and then we have shared stories in class, with our buddies and been in different house groups to share stories too

As part of our topic ‘Signs of Spring’, reception took a walk to see if we could spot any signs of spring, we finished the trip at the park.   We enjoyed listening to the birds, spotting the daffodils and feeling the trees.

Reception had a lovely time tasting yummy pancakes in Tuesday whilst listening to Mr Wolf’s Pancakes. We have been colouring pancakes, making pancakes out of play dough and creating pancake faces using our cutting skills.

In Reception, we have been talking about toys from the past as part of our topic ‘Long Ago’. We then made peg dolls to add to our small world area in class.
