Nursery and Reception children walked to the Library in Rubery. We listened to stories about Transport. The Librarians told us that we could all join the library with our parents. It sounded like good fun.
Chinese New Year - February 14th
Reception celebrated Chinese New Year. The children spent time during the week, learning about the story of Chinese New Year. We made animal masks, dragons and fans to take on our parade. We also enjoyed tasting Chinese food; we liked the noodles best!
This is the year of the Tiger, so we made a large Tiger and a traditional Chinese Dragon to lead our parade. We paraded all round the school to help everyone remember and celebrate the Chinese New Year.

We are looking forward to planting our new bulbs and seeds now the weather is warming up for Springtime. Watch out for our ...

This visit was a starting point for further topic activities about animals, jungle habitats and endangered species. Can you name the animals we saw? Hover your mouse over the pictures to find the answers.
