Creepie Crawlies Investigation - Learning Through Play

The Creepie Crawlies had fun last week choosing different ways to do their writing , using their imagination to build things they were interested in and inventing some new games for Olympics! Our focus for the term is around The Olympics, Rio de Janeiro, rainforests, "Around the world" and anything else that interests them!Please discuss your child's learning with them. We are trying to make their learning authentic, so if they experience something out of school and in school it all becomes more real for them!
