We had lots of fun this week! Our story was the Smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson and we used this to think about our PSHE, particularly mental health.  We did lots of talking about emotions and what makes us happy! We know that we must talk about worries if we have them but we can also…

Along with their work on shape and number and following all their Speed Sound sessions, the Reception children talked about the Gruffalo’s friend, the kind witch, who invited all her animal friends to share her broom until it was too heavy and it snapped in two!  The children were challenged to…
