The children made ‘gadgets’ out of small boxes with silver foil and ribbon with discs […]

Under the Sea

This week the children have been investigating ‘Under the Sea’. There were lots of good suggestions from them for names of underwater creatures. They have all joined in with dancing to ‘watery’ music whilst pretending to be crabs, puffer fish, eels, little fish, big fish and of course, sharks! Ask your children about the new […]
