What a fantastic first morning we had in Reception! #smithdowneyfs
Reception had a lovely afternoon visiting Speke Hall! We followed the Giant trail and spotted lots of the giant’s clothes high up in the trees! We tiptoed past the sleeping giant, making sure not to wake him! We then walked around the grounds, looking for signs of Autumn.
Please remember to join us at 2.15pm for a creative arts and crafts afternoon to celebrate World Nursery Rhyme Week.
Here are links to the focused nursery rhymes
