Reception are learning all about animals and this week we are thinking about pets.

A big thank you to Mrs Clarkson who agreed to bring Billy the Tortoise in to visit us all. We were very excited to meet Billy and learnt lots about tortoises. Billy had dandelion leaves and cooked broccoli to munch on, although she wasn't very hungry. She was very keen to explore Sycamore classroom and kept walking off the mat!
