The Rabbits have been extremely busy this week! Not only are they rehearsing for the Nativity performance, they have also been learning all about 3D shapes and in ICT they have been improving their mouse control creating their very own London Bridge.
The Dragonflies had a very exciting start to their week, they visited the cinema with year 3 to watch Finding Dory, the children had a wonderful time. They have also been exploring volcanoes and will be researching their very own to create a special fact file.
The Otters have made a start to their new topic Crime and Punishment. They have been learning about life in Victorian schools and what happens if the children were naughty, eek! There was a delicious smell coming from their classroom this week too, they'd made pineapple upside down cake!
