This week, Hummingbirds experienced the world of unplugged computing! They became real-life Bee-Bots by giving each other instructions, learning coding and problem-solving without screens. We had such fun!

Reception have been busy this week learning all about plants. We loved planting our own sunflowers, making flowers out of loose parts in our transient art area and doing some wonderful drawing and writing too. What a great start to the summer term reception! 🌻🌼🌷

This week, Cygnets have been learning all about the Arctic. Yesterday we learnt how Inuit's build their own igloos out of snow. We decided to have a go at making our own igloo using our den building equipment. We cooked food on our pretend fire and made our own sledge.#WPSYR

Cygnets loved their visit from Farmer Carl this afternoon. We gave the lamb his lunchtime milk, and stroked Henrietta the hen. Farmer Carl talked about what Spring is like on his farm and asked Miss Wheeler to hold the lamb whilst he talked about his other animals. #WPSYR

Row, row, row your boat. What an amazing DT week Reception have had this week learning all about different types of boats! We did incredible boat designs before using our recycling from home and wood from our woodwork area to make our boats and bring them to life. #WPSYR #WPSYDT
