    In Reception this week we have been continuing our minibeast topic looking at snails and slugs. We read the book Snail Trail and have been planning out, drawing and measuring our own snail's journey around the classroom. We have also been learning lots of different facts about slugs and snails and each of the children made a fact page. There have been some amazing transient art snails produced this week and the children have done a fantastic job taking pictures of their own snails.

    This week we started our new topic of minibeasts. The children have loved telling us how much they already know about minibeasts and learning some new facts.

The children wrote short sentences in booklets to retell the story and completed addition number hunts around the classroom. In class we are learning lots of minibeast songs.
