Year 1 had a fantastic trip to Safety works learning all about how to be safe in the summer.
Nursery love to explore different ways to make marks and explore writing. Last week, we danced away to Under the Sea using our flipper flappers to make circles and lines in the air. We then transferred these skills to paper before making our own octopus!
Then we continued the fun by making marks in shaving foam.
