Reception 28.11.25

This week its been all about the Teddy Bears Party. The challenge of the week was to cut  and measure , design and decorate a crown  for our teddies to wear to the party. We learnt to use rulers, draw straight lines and assemble the crown to fit the teddies heads  – some were too short , some were too long  – great problems solving  😊  We have written party lists in our role play area,  written an invitation inviting our Teddies to the party, we’ve made chocolate cornflower cookies, sandwiches and finished it all off with a cup of hot chocolate in the Teepee in Forest school.
