'Brown Bear, Brown Bear...'
Thu 19 Oct 2023Our Nursery children have been reading the story 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear'. They are enjoying joining in with the words of the story.
They also enjoyed making paper plate brown bears and paper orange goldfish to help them remember the story and recognise their colours.
To make the brown bears, they dabbed brown paint on a paper plate with a sponge, stuck on a brown paper and black felt nose, googly eyes and cupcake case ears. For the goldfish, they stuck all of their scales on using different materials such as felt, tissue paper, and crepe paper.

Reception learn about litter & recycling
Tue 10 Oct 2023Last week Reception class had a visit from Beth, who works for Walsall Council. She came to talk to them about litter and how we can help look after our planet. They listened to stories about Eco Dolphin and Captain Reek. They helped Eco Dolphin to save the planet by singing songs and recycling rubbish. Our school hall looked so much better when we had finished!
Back in class, they read a story called 'Michael Recycle' and played their our own recycling game. Since then they have been keeping their classroom and school clean, recycling their paper and turning out the lights when they leave the room.
Well done, Reception!
