WELLIES ON WEDNESDAYS!

A Journey Around Austrey School

We can see a little red boat. It went

past mountains, a water fall, grass,

sticky mud, a pond and stones in the

river.

It went in the estuary to meet the

sea.

Having talked about the environmental features in this fictional text the children in reception took a journey around the school.
