Africa

The children have had an enjoyable week learning about Africa and how it is different to Redbourn. We read the story 'We're Going on a Lion Hunt' and acted it out in P.E.

We have been learning about Harvest and why it is celebrated. We looked at different fruits and vegetables and talked about their shapes as we printed them using paints. The morning children sang the harvest song we have been learning in assembly and joined in with the actions. Afternoon Nursery sang to Mrs Byrne when she came to see us on Friday afternoon. The children have really enjoyed using the i-Pads in Learning through Play this week. We will be using them next week to move objects across the screen. In our Outside Area the children have enjoyed playing in the cardboard house and sweeping
