We've been orienteering this week in PE. We had a race to make funny faces using a key, then we followed a plan to create an obstacle course. We used our learning toolkit and  showed great team work and leadership today.

Today Reception explored the composition of 10! They used a tens frame, objects and pictures to show their understanding and explore their ideas. They explained what they could see and subitised along the way! They looked at and explained the part/whole they had created! We used our creativity…

Class 4 had a fantastic afternoon today!

We were 'virtually visited' by Frazie from Frazoo, who shared some of her exotic pets with us.

This week, we have enjoyed creating a 13th task for Heracles (or Hercules, as he was known to the Romans) to complete. We then wrote up our completed pieces on aged paper for effect.

It has been a fantastic week back in school!
