Willow 1 and 2 classes had a great time visiting the FishMonger in Elm Park.

We saw a Conga Eel, Crab, prawns and lots of other fish.

We asked the fishmongers,  Jenny and James, lots of interesting questions and listened carefully.

Here are some pictures:

We have had a busy week back at school learning all about cold places. The children have researched facts about penguins using the ipads and made a habitat for a penguin. We looked at the stories ‘Penguin and Pinecone’ and ‘Penguin small’. We have also looked at some real fish and did some observational drawings and made some clay models of them.

In maths this week we have been practicing adding and taking away objects as well as ordering numbers to 20. The children have been working hard to write adding and subtracting number sentences.

If you have any spare of the following items at home could we please have them, thank you!

() egg cartons

() old aprons

() empty fish tanks

() unused plastic fish

We would also like to introduce Rebecca, our final year student from Roehampton University. She will be working with Mrs Wren, teaching in Willow 1 throughout the Spring term.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend,

The Reception team 🙂
