Exploring the playground

 Today, reception got the opportunity to explore the large play area as they will be joint in with lunchtime play very soon. The children enjoyed trying out the equipment and rolling down the hills. We had a lovely sunny afternoon outdoors.

Starting school

 We have had such a lovely week with the new reception children. They have been exploring the reception area and having lots fun. Take a look at all the things we have been up too. We have been so impressed with how well the children have come into school all by themselves and settled in school life. They are great at following routines and have made friends with others.

New Reception cohort 2021 - 22

We are currently having 1:1 class visits with all the children that will be joining us very soon. We can't wait to meet you all and let you explore your new classroom. You should have received a welcome pack and timetable for your child in the post. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to call the school office. See you all very soon, the reception team.

Instruction writing

We have been learning to write a simple set of instructions. We made Jam sandwiches and thought about the steps we needed to take to make an edible sandwich. We also practised spreading and cutting skills as well as considering the importance of hygiene when preparing food.

Butterfly release

 Butterfly release day...... We have been amazed watching the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly and we have learnt lots about the lifecycle. Unfortunately the sun wasn’t shining but we had to release the butterflies. We released them close to the trees and bushes so they had somewhere to land if they became tired. It was fascinating watching them warm up their wings ready to take their first flight.

Eid Celebration Day

We thoroughly enjoyed wearing our party clothes to school after Eid Mubarak had taken place. Many of families had a wonderful day celebrating and the children enjoyed sharing how they celebrated with their friends.
