Here is a little preview of their day.
We had our first campfire today. We collected the wood from our field. The toasted marshmallows were delicious!
Sawing, hammering, digging, collecting and working together to create homes for hedgehogs.
As it was Victorian week we made clove and sequin pomanders, to make our houses smell beautiful. We also had a special service led by Revd David who taught us all about Christingles. We each made one to take home and share.
We have enjoyed finding out about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, the Hindu festival of light, Diwali and now we are getting excited about the Christian festival of Christmas!
Our wonderful Reception children are so happy in school. They received certificates today in our special Celebration Assembly.
