Date: 9th Jan 2025 @ 11:30am

This term, Reception have been diving into an exciting new topic: Penguins! These fascinating creatures have captured the imaginations of the children as they explore the unique characteristics and behaviours of penguins. Whether it's through stories, songs, or hands-on activities, the children are learning a lot about them, their habitats, and how they survive in the wild.

Fun Penguin Facts

Reception have been discovering some fun and quirky facts:

• Penguins "toboggan" on their bellies, sliding across the ice to move faster.
• Penguins can dive to great depths to catch fish and other food in the ocean.
• Penguins are social animals and usually live in large colonies, often in the thousands!
• Some penguin species "propose" to their mates with a pebble – they offer it as a gift!

Watch our videos below and let our Reception children share more facts with you-enjoy!
