This term the children have explored the school and its grounds. We thought about the purpose for the different areas in the school and why they are used in this way. We used Digimaps to locate our school within Hoddesdon, then within England and the UK. For our exhibition we took the Reception children on a tour around the school so we could help them learn about our school. We designed our route using a plan of the school and composed sentences to help us present the information to the younger children. We also made cupcakes to share with the children at the end of the tour.
