Reception enjoyed visiting our parish church of St. Mary’s. We talked about baptism, and they took part in role play to explore the different parts of baptism. Reception enjoyed their visit to church and were excited to find out more about baptism.
 

Year 3 were spotting human and physical features on the huge OS maps. They looked at the key to learn many new map symbols. They found lots of local areas and pointed to them using co-ordinates.
