Sophie the Veterinary Nurse came to visit us again in Reception but this time with her special friend Lottie. Lottie is her pet dog a Springer Spaniel. We found out lots of information about dogs and how to look after them properly. We were also  able to pet Lottie and help search for her Microchip using a special scanner. Sophie showed us how to put a bandage on as well. Some of us had a go. Lottie was so very well behaved.  We had a such a lovely time and hope to see Lottie again!

At forest school last week the children were greeted at the pond by ‘The Friends of Apley’ and they spoke to the children about the health of ducks.

We found out that bread is bad for ducks, so by giving alternative foods like frozen peas, meal worms and porridge oats will keep the ducks at Apley happy and more importantly healthy.

The homework for the reception children was to construct a 3d model with some of the shapes we have been learning about in maths.

Look! they are fantastic!

Well done for all of your hard work! Here are just a few..
