Looking at our history!
admin on: Reception
19th March 2021
This week we have been exploring own history by looking at photos of ourselves when we were babies, toddlers and how we look now. Also, we have been comparing what life used to be like when our families were children to how our lives are like now. We have created a time capsule to open when the children are in year 6. We asked them what hey would like to be when they grow up and included of a photo of what they look like now.
On Wednesday we celebrated St Patrick's Day by making cards, hats and leprechauns. We tasted soda bread and Brambrack as these are traditional Irish foods and ended our day by learning an Irish gig and performing this for parents, who watched through our window, at home time.
Have a lovely weekend, hopefully the nice weather is here to stay now!

We have absolutely loved having all of the children back in this week! We have had lots of fun exploring space, looking at the first British astronaut in space, Helen Sharman. Also, we have been looking at the planets that we have in our solar system!
As Sunday is a very special day, Mothering Sunday, we spent time making wonderful "hand"made cards using our own hands and thought about how amazing they are by writing down lots of fun facts about them!
On Thursday it was our school World Book Day! The theme we chose for this year was spring. We linked this with a gorgeous book we have been looking at called Junk DNA. We write about the 'springs' inside robots and used springs to make robot pictures!
Have a lovely, long rest after our busy first week back everyone. We are super proud of how the children have settled back into life in school!

What a busy week we have had!
This morning, we had a special delivery from the North Pole! Santa had replied to our postcards we sent him last Wednesday.
We have had lots of fun creating different Christmas crafts. We have made photo frames which look like Rudolph, different Christmas objects out of 2D shapes and Christmas trees with paint using a fork.
Also, here is a Merry Christmas from Mr Curly-Wurly
We had a special delivery of Dr Simpo's new comic on Wednesday morning. He has kindly donated one for every child in school. Thank you Dr Simpo!
From myself and the whole Reception team, have a lovely Christmas break and Happy New Year!
See you all in 2021!

We had a visitor ...
Our Elf wrote a letter to us ...
Our Elf also set out some activities for us! We wrote a postcard to Santa, helped some elves find their way through a maze and made our own elves.
To end the day, we have a virtual assembly with our local vicar, Nick Heaton.
What a busy afternoon elf-ing around we had!
Have a lovely weekend!

All about recycling and materials
admin on: Reception
2nd December 2020
We have been looking at properties of materials this week and what they can be used for. We had a giggle thinking about what if we made our clothes from metal and tables out of paper!
With Miss Crowther, we looked at the story of the Three Little Pigs. We then made our own houses out of straw, twigs and bricks to see if the big bad wolf could blow our houses down! We were very excited when our brick houses were not blown down!
With Mrs Hemingway we sorted materials into groups by what they were made of such as wood, metal or paper. We used our super magnets to discover which objects were made of metal.
On the cutting and sticking table, we recycled wrapping paper to make trees with leaves in a pot.
Also, we sorted various every day items into the correct recycling bins, discussing why we had put them in each bin.
How busy we have all been!
Have a lovely weekend!
