We have had an exciting start to the term in Reception! After some wonderfully focused learning, the children headed out for a walk to stretch their legs - and what an adventure it turned into…

Along the way, they discovered: purple prickles, orange eyes, white tusks… and even some green warts! Something mysterious had definitely been wandering around our school!

The children became brilliant detectives, recording their predictions in their books. We heard all sorts of imaginative theories: 

“I think it is a rhino!”

“I think it is a unicorn!”

"I think it's a Triceratops"

“I think it is a Gruffalo!” 

The excitement didn’t stop there - today we discovered a letter in the classroom, revealing who left the clues -  it really was the Gruffalo -  and he wanted us to learn his story! 
Even our play dough area has become Gruffalo themed! We have been making the Gruffalo and Gruffalo cupcakes.
