Reception have started their final half-term like busy, buzzy bees! We enjoyed the bee assembly and learnt so many different facts. Did you know a bee has smelly feet? Did you know bumblebees are important in helping to grow food like tomatoes? This was a great way to launch our new topic of 'Life in the undergrowth', where we will be looking at different invertebrates. We learnt that an invertebrate was an animal without a backbone. We were also amazed to learn that plants, trees and flowers were living things too! We read the book 'A nature trail' by Benjamin Zepinhiah and visiting our forest area. It was great fun! Next week we will focus on butterflies. We also loved linking our shape work in maths to create tangrams of different creatures.
