The children really enjoyed watching the ducklings hatch and grow over the last two weeks. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to them on Friday as they had to return to the farm in Norfolk. This week we continue with our  Caring for Animals topic focusing  on Minibeasts for the next two weeks. This week we explore the world of spiders. If anyone has any pet spiders at home, please let us know.

Please don’t forget to fill out a WOW card to share  important moments you have with your child at home. We would love to add more cards to our WOW wall.

Also, please remember to check the weather each day and dress your child appropriately for each day.

Kind Regards

Reception Team [/dropshadowbox]
