We went on a Bear Hunt. We squelched in the mud, swirled in a snowstorm and tiptoed in a cave. We found a bear!!

'Bear Wakeham'

There were many things to do including a construction area, a sensory area, an art area, imagination village, the physical zone and the Lab.

We used our senses to explore breakfast cereals. We tasted 4 different cereals and decided which one we liked the best. We voted and the most popular breakfast cereal is 'Bran Flakes'. We also washed and dried our bowls and spoons ourselves!!!

We had fun at our Christmas Party!

We went to visit Thomas Cook and had our passports stamped. We asked questions about holidays and different countries. We watched Ms Barlow get some foreign currency and looked through lots of travel brochures.

Thank you Diane who walked with us to Maghull Square.

Our class celebration 'Visitors' was a wonderful experience. All of the children participated well and even our visitors received a drink and a chocolate biscuit!!

Diane came in to talk to us about road safety before our trip to 'Thomas Cook'.

Reception class were thrilled when a gift of a book pack from BOOKTIME in association with Pearson, arrived at
