This week, Reception have been reading the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Following on from that, they have created their own maps of the forest that Little Red Riding Hood travelled through. We discussed the Tyrone of features that might be included on a map and they included houses, trees and the path way.
Year Three are discussing and identifying forces that acting on objects. They have used Freeze frames to demonstrate their learning and make the rest of the class guess whether it is a pushing or pulling forces.

We then researched the IP addresses of different, well-known websites (domain […]
This week in PE, Reception have been creating a sequence that involves a jump, landing and a forward roll.
