A visit from Richard the Lollipop man
Our new lollipop man Richard came to visit us in Class 7. We asked and answered lots of questions. We thanked him for keeping us safe.
Musical instruments
Class 7 enjoyed exploring the instruments and their dynamics. If we shake them really hard and fast it makes a loud noise. If we shake it slow and soft it makes a quiet noise.
Welly Wednesday natural crowns
Class 7 had a great time finding natural treasure in the meadow and using it to make natural crowns.

A visit from a vet
Class 7 really enjoyed the visit from a vet. They asked lots of questions, talked about how to look after pets and animals and had a go themselves at listening for a heartbeat, putting a bandage on and getting ready for surgery. We then put all the information into practice in our own vet role play area.
