In Reception we have been thinking about the weather and seasonal changes. Children went ice hunting after noticing that Jack Frost had visited! We enjoy exploring how ice changes and the children were then interested in looking at animals living in colder climates.
This week the children have also been learning the PANTS rules from NSPCC. They enjoyed the Pantosaurus song.
