Here are some photos sent in from Year R families showing a variety of activities they have been enjoying during our first week of home learning.  
We hope you enjoy looking through the slideshow and spotting some ideas and familiar faces. 

During our topic this half term we have discussed how some animals can camouflage to their surroundings in order to hide from predators or sneak up on their prey.  Check out this website to see some amazing camouflaged animals... you'll have to look carefully, they are tricky to spot.

Good Morning Year R.  It was an early morning on the farm today, but I'm pleased to show you our first calf of the year.  This is Berry, she was born a few hours ago and is now starting to stand up on her own.  Welcome to the world Berry! 
You can always email me your springtime photos or pictures, we would love to see them. 

Here are some of the lovely 3D shape ideas children in Year R have been sharing.  
They have been making, sorting, colouring and finding shapes.  
Below are the clips to help you learn more about 3D shapes, their names and properties.
