Reception explore... the attic!

In Reception, we have been building our vocabulary. 

After being woken up by a mysterious noise, the children in Reception decided to find out what was going on up in the loft! We had to make sure that we were very quiet so that we didn't wake anyone else up!

"We need to creep!"

"We have to tip-toe!"

"We can't make a sound!"

"Quietly! Carefully!"

We reached up and opened the loft hatch! It was very dark and dusty so we turned the light on and climbed the ladder... 

We noticed that there weren't any holes in the roof, just a very slight breeze from a gap

"It must have been the wind!"

Whilst we were in the loft, we found lots of different things! Some old toys, cobwebs and even a dusty, broken bicycle! Then, the wind blew a handle on a mysterious chest: bang! That must have been the noise that woke us up! Carefully, we picked up the heavy chest and carried it downstairs to investigate...

Together, we opened the chest to find lots of different uniforms, some old and some that we recognised. We even uncovered an incredibly special medal belonging to Mrs Price's mummy for her services with St John's Ambulance! Along with police officer jackets, a train driver's hat, a nurse's tabard and a postal worker's parcel, we discovered that these were the belongings of people who help us!

We are looking forward to learning more about our People Who Help Us topic.
