Yesterday we learnt about Remembrance Day. We discussed the significance of the poppy and remembered those who served for our country. Reception were excellent at creating some of their own poppy paintings. #RememberanceDay2024

This week we are celebrating @worldrhymeweek 🎵 We have enjoyed singing the nursery rhymes and extending our vocabulary knowledge. We were brilliant at constructing a farm, baking currant buns and creating stars with different media. We can’t wait to sing the rest! @GarstonCE
