The Reception children have made a fabulous start to the second half of the Spring term. We have started a new topic called ‘New life, Growth and Change’. The children have focused on two books, The Extraordinary Gardener and Oliver’s Vegetables. They have learnt all about growing plants and vegetables and have been participating in the following activities: planting their own seeds and looking after them by placing them in the sun and watering them, exploring a range of vegetables, painting flowers and writing words and sentences linked to the texts they have read.
They are also delighted to have a new role play area, the Marland Garden Centre and are able to play in this area during their continuous provision time. We would like to thank all parents and carers who came to the Reading Afternoon on Monday. The children really enjoyed reading with their family members. Hopefully more parents and carers can come next time.
