Today EYFS had a fab visit from Newhaven's fire crew! They had a Q&A session to find out their job role, tried on their outfits, explored the fire truck and got to spray the hose with water! Thank you so much!

In Reception, we are learning all about rainbows and reading lots of texts with colours in.
As part of our homework this week, we had to create our own rainbows using items from around our homes.
Look how fabulous they are!
