On Thursday, Reception went out for a Woodland Walk. Our task was to find signs of Spring. We all had a checklist. We found flowers such as dafodils, buttercups, daisies and tulpis. We found lots of insects. We found a ladybird house, a beetle and a worm. There were some nests in the trees. We also looked closely at seedlings and buds using the magnifiers. We didn't find a squirrel. We think the squirrel was hiding because of the noises.

Today in reception, we have been learning about a Hindu festival, Holi. It is also known as the Festival of Colour. Holi celebrates Spring and new beginnings. It origionated in North India but is now celebrated in many countries. As part of our learning about People and Communities, we learn about many different cultures and religions. This helps to develop British Values in the Early Years.

This week, we have been learning about children's rights in PSHE. We have been looking at inspirational quotes and artwork about freedoms around the world. We have thought about freedom to be yourself, freedom to have a home and feel safe, freedom to have your own ideas and freedom to learn. We have developed ideas and produced our own original artwork based on freedom. This will be displayed in school for the children to reflect upon and visitors to enjoy.

Class 1 and Class 2 had a fantastic day out at The Ice Cream Farm on Friday. When we got there we were greeted by the elves, who showed us a short film about Santa. Then we went into our workshops to do our elf training! We had to make toys. Then we had to sort them and send them down special chutes for each country. We sent presents to Spain, France, Sweden, America and Australia! Later we raced reindeer and made a special elf medal.We all received a certificate as we are now all certified elves.
