Reception have been learning about rainforests this week and had the best time @SundMuseum! We went on a trail to save Lola the Lemur’s habitat from deforestation, walked to the top of the emergent layer of the rainforest and held some real rainforest objects in our workshop 🦧

The children in Nursery have really enjoyed their first lesson on the apparatus #opentonewthings. We also had a cold but lovely Winter walk and a great explore in our forest area, we spotted snow, puddles, mud, fungi, shoots and very bare trees #communityspirit.

Nursery are continuing to look at themselves. They have been practicing drawing and painting a person, remembering to do the body. They are trying so hard with their fine motor skills too, we are very impressed #Resilience #success.
