Year Two had a lovely day yesterday at Peak Wildlife Park. We learned about habitats and how animals have adapted to the environment. We also looked at African animals and went into the African village to understand what life is like for people in Zambia.
Year One have been studying the work of Peter Blake, a pop artist! They learned about Blake using web sources, used magnifying glasses to study his work in detail, spotting similarities and differences and then created their own toy shop in his style.

Reception have been working hard on their phonics and writing skills this week. We have now begun to learn the digraphs ch, sh and th and are beginning to use them in words and sentences. Here we are practising writing sometimes these words. Well done Reception, we are so proud of you.
