They used problem solving skills and came up with ideas for what to do when the colour 'purple' didn't turn out quite the way we had planned!! The children learnt a new song about mixing colours and they impressed their teachers with their new knowledge at the end of the week.

The transition children went to assembly this week to celebrate and discuss world book day. They listened to 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' in different languages.
