Autumn
Reception have been reading the story of the Tiny King in their Talk For Writing lessons. The children have been fully immersed in the story and have really enjoyed the journey they have been on.

Reception were inspired by the poem ‘What A Wonderful World’. We went outside and explored what we could see, hear and feel. We made pictures out of sticks and leaves, put out bird food for the squirrels and birds, made streamers and watched them move as the wind blew. We even looked for other small bugs and found some little minibeasts.
