Our favourite audience members had to be the lovely Mrs Urwin and baby Ada who LOVED seeing us perform! ❤️
This morning, Reception looked at rotating shapes with Miss Topping. We focused on following repeated patterns on peg boards, rotating and repeating shapes in an order and cutting out shapes and rotating them to create ice creams, boats and houses!
Wowza what a morning reception have had! We visited Bede Burn to take part in a Creep Crawl Wriggle event.

We also enjoyed some planning time with our Bede Burn friends. A massive well done superstars
