We engaged all learners with dual coding by using Widgit symbols to learn the sequence of brushing our teeth. After mastering the instructions, we put our knowledge into practice and brushed our teeth together! 🪥✨ #DualCoding @OliveTreeBolton @twinkleyschools @Showbie

Reception had a blast off of a picnic at the park today, inspired by ‘Whatever Next!’ We packed our own space picnics just like Baby Bear and imagined rockets, stars, and moon landings under the trees. What an adventure! @OliveTreeBolton @MrsZPatel @twinkleyschools #EYFS

Our curious scientists dove into the fascinating world of animal adaptations! They even created their own yoga poses inspired by these adaptations, stretching their creativity and knowledge! @ScienceWeekUK #BritishScienceWeek @twinkleyschools @OliveTreeBolton
