This week, Reception have been inspired to investigate growing. 

We each planted a bean and have started a bean diary to document the changes taking place over the next three weeks.  Miss Handley has also conducted an experiment to find out if a plant needs light to grow – currently Reception feel the plant has a 50/50 chance!  Watch this space…..

Writing stories has featured very strongly this week – children have applied their imagination and phonics knowledge to independently create their own stories, from magical lands to recounting family holidays, the variation has been wonderful!  In addition, we have used our CLPE text, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, to explore different teaching approaches such as role on the wall and challenge children to create alternative endings too.
