This week both Reception classes had a visit from Ms Coppola's snake called Woody! The children enjoyed handling the snake and came up with some lovely language describing how it felt and looked.

  

We also had a visit from ex-pupil Lizzie Worster who is completing a PhD at UCL. She is working on a research project around reading in Early Years. She spent some time talking to the children about using sign language and taught them the signs to use for the characters in the Gruffalo.

We have bought some lovely new water play equipment for our outdoor area.

The children have loved filling and pouring water using different sized jugs and containers!

 

Both Reception classes had lovely new SMART Boards installed during half term. The children have been exploring different ways of using them.
