Reception - Bluebell
Welcome back Bluebells
I hope you have had a lovely break and look forward to seeing you in Monday 26th February to continue your learning in the second part of the Spring term.
Our next topic will be Ready Steady Grow. We will be looking closely at how thing grow and what they need to help them to grow. If you have had a chance to look at the homework sent home with your child, I hope you have had lots of fun watching and talking about what you have grown. I'll look forward to seeing an hearing about it all next week.
Enjoy the rest of your break!

We made stain glass hearts using different coloured tissue paper. We had so much fun making these.
For world book day we made wishing star necklaces. First we threaded coloured straws onto some string. Then we made a wish and wrote it on the star to add to our necklace. It was lovely hearing the children's wishes and sharing what we had made.
World book day.
