Reception

This term the Reception children have been learning about 'Great Leaders and how they influence our past, present and future.'

We started our learning by inquiring into the role of leaders in our country. We learnt about the role of the Prime Minister and we all enjoyed learning about the responsilibities that Rishi Sunak has. We inquired into the role of our local MP Helen Whately and we even sent letters to her office in the House of Commons in London. 

We also reflected on the roles of leaders in British History and compared the Coronation events of Queen Elizabeth II and that of King Charles III.  

Next, we started to learn about Royal Homes. We compared our home to that of the King and we learnt about a castle in our local area. We visited Leeds Castle and learnt about the Kings and Queens who lived there, as well as the famous story of Sybil the Cygnet!
