Lotherton Hall
Year 2 have been learning all about different habitats in science. On Wednesday, we went to Lotherton Hall to explore the Wildlife World, take part in a habitats workshop and hunt for minibeasts. We had a fantastic time watching the penguins swimming, seeing the flamingos balance while sleeping and getting up close to a white peacock!

People who help us - Police
The Reception children have had a visit from two local PCSO's. The children loved finding out about what they get up to and how they keep us safe. The children also really enjoyed going inside the police van, dressing up in uniform and getting their fingerprints taken!
People who help us - Firefighters
This half term, the Reception children are learning all about people who help us. We were lucky enough to have an exciting visit from the firefighters that work at Moortown Fire Station. They spoke to the children about how they help people, how they keep themselves safe, and then gave us a tour of the fire engine. We even got to spray the hose and hear the siren - it was noisy but very exciting!
