Week 1:
This week in reception we started our learning about Kings and Queens. We learnt that King Charles III is the current King of the United Kingdom and spent some time looking at some of his palaces. We also learnt about the flag of the United Kingdom and the Royal Standard that flies over Buckingham Palace when the King is in residence.
On Friday, we visited the farm and had an amazing day and just about escaped the worst of the rain! We got the chance to meet some creepy crawlies including a millipede, snake and tarantula. We then got to hold and stroke some of the new animals on the farm including a bunny rabbit, guinea pig and tortoise. We all really enjoyed our lunch before feeding lots of the farm animals including pigs, sheep and goats. We also had the chance to bottle feed some of the new lambs. Everyone had a fantastic day and all of the children were great role models for Spring Meadow.
Week 2:
This week we continued our work on Kings and Queens and looked in more detail at some of the castles and palaces with royal connections. We thought about what it would be like to be an architect and used rulers to draw our own castles as well as creating our own gardens with a mixture of materials. In English, we continued our learning on the Queen's Hat and are looking forward to writing our own versions next week.
