Our first project is all about settling in to our new classes, making friends and becoming part of the fantastic Reception team. During the term, we will learn how to use the ipads to take photographs of our friends and classrooms to create giant photo collages of our class names (see below for more details)
The story focus of our first project is Elmer by David McKee. You can enjoy this story at home together.
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger. She worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr in the campaign for equal rights for black African-Americans in the 1950s-60s.
Isaac Newton was born in 1643 and became famous for his work on gravity and his three laws of motion. He was also well known for his work on light and colour, and what is now called calculus (a branch of mathematics).
Pierre de Coubertin was a French educator who played a central role in the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896, after nearly 1,500 years. We celebrate him because we are in Stratford, home of the 2012 Olympics.
