Reception News- Summer 1, Week 1

What a great first week back!

This week, during project learning time, children have been investigating countries and landscapes from around the world. Children have thought about how landscapes are different across the globe and have represented their ideas through drawings, blocks and loose parts to build. We have also been using IPAD’s to take a look on Google Earth at different landscapes across the globe.

Learners have also been interested this week in learning about the up coming King’s coronation, we have been thinking about where the King lives and how a coronation is celebrated!
