On Monday 4th May 2026, it was International Firefighters’ Day. To celebrate this day, Reception were lucky enough to have a workshop with FOBBS (Figures of Black British Society) founder, Kayleigh Oliver.
This week Reception are immersing themselves in the traditional tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” so we have also been planting runner bean seeds as well as sunflowers, cress and sweet peas.
On Tuesday, an incubator containing five eggs arrived in Reception. The children learned about what sort of animals laid eggs then made predictions about what might be growing inside our ones.
We traded our usual desks for the vibrant landscapes of Africa, dedicating an entire day to a thematic takeover that was—quite literally—a feast for the senses.
