Reception 6.2.26

This week in RKS we are rounding off our transport topic, learning about space and the transport we might use to go into space! We created some wonderful magic space pictures, using crayons and then washing over them with some magic black water, the children loved seeing the results! We have also been using shapes to create rockets and other transport in maths.

We were really lucky to have a special visitor this week to show us a motorbike, the children had great fun learning all about the motorbike and how it works and even had the chance to sit on it and rev the engine – beeping the horn was a particular highlight! Katy Shelton
