Last Week

Reception girls preparing for Autumn, considering the little creatures of the Forest, cutting up fruit for the composter and we will watch what happens over the coming weeks. Team games included ‘meet a tree’ using their sense of touch to identify the trees.

This Week

Great teamwork from Reception girls making shelters in Forest School and then acting out being in a restaurant!

Well done team!
