I'd say cross-curricular work, it's quite a creative approach to teaching. It's a way where you can develop a child's skills, knowledge, and understanding through topics which are interconnected. At the moment in reception, we have been learning about Peter Pan. So through Peter Pan we've been able to talk about the past and look at old time London and talk about how London has changed. And through that, the children have been able to interview their parents at home and talk about how toys have changed over time and then link it back to their own experiences. We've also then moved on to talk about Mermaid Lagoon and underwater creatures and sea creatures and sea animals. And so tomorrow, we're actually going to go to the Sea Life Centre and investigate that a little bit further, which takes us quite nicely onto our next topic in the summertime, which is all about mini beasts and super worms. So we start with the Julia Donaldson text Superworm. And we talk about mini beasts. But in the Sea Life Centre, there is a section which is or is called a ranger section, and there's lots of mini beasts there. So that kind of prepares the children for their new learning which is going to take place after the holiday.
