Tuesday 1 February 2022 Reception - Chinese New Year 'Kung Hei Fat Choi' to everyone in our community celebrating the Chinese/Lunar new year today. We have had fun learning about this celebration today in our reception classes. We have also been learning about non-fiction texts so we explored a non-fiction book about this celebration to find out lots of facts about how it is celebrated. We enjoyed lots of art and craft and sensory play opportunities linked to the Chinese New Year but best of all was having a go at dragon dancing, playing our instruments and having a taste of fortune cookies and prawn crackers!

Tuesday 18 January 2022 Nursery - WOW Factor - Under the Sea Messy Day 'Under the Sea' was the theme for Nursery's Messy Day! All dressed to get super messy they plunged into the paint and created waves with rollers, waded their hands through foam, hid things under piles of shredded paper and decorated plastic sheeting with their handprints and glittery stuff. Some dinosaurs turned up but got stuck in gloop and bubbles, while others made shiny fish art! Nursery had lots of excited talk about their underworld adventures, and everyone went home suitably messy and tired.
