We will be designing and making gingerbread men and using different materials to make a house for the three little pigs. We will be thinking about materials and their properties.

During Spring 2 our topic is “Out of this World”. We will be learning about Space and space exploration. We will be exploring the different seasons and will be finding out about the life of Tim Peake and other astronauts! The children will learn about life cycles and different habitats.

Facts about Reception – Cygnets

Baby swans are called cygnets and stay with their mother for the first 6 months of life. All of the mute swans in England and Wales are owned by the Queen of England. Despite popular belief, swans can actually fly. They are among the largest flying birds out there and need about 30 meters to become airborne.
