In Reception this week we have been having lots of fun on our new ‘rustic’ bike track. The children have enjoyed having races and using the chalk to record their scores.
What an exciting week it has been for our little explorers! We have been thoroughly embracing Science Week through a range of exploring, investigating and recording.
We were very excited to celebrate a belated World Book Day on Thursday 8 March. The children dressed up as their favourite book characters and took part in a range of activities including sharing books with their buddies, making bookmarks with reading prompts, designing their own book covers and creating decorated book doors.
Welcome back Reception! It has been a fantastic week back after a few exciting days off in the snow! It has been lovely hearing your stories about the fun things you have been up to!
Dear Parents / Carers,
We are taking part in eDF Energy’s Waste Week 2018, 5th-9th March. The theme this year is food waste and food packaging.
Many activities are planned over the course of the week and we need your help – please start sending in any clean, safe, empty food and drink packaging to your class. We will be sorting these into plastic, metal, card/paper and glass on Monday 5th March.
Can you guess what we’ve been reading in Reception this week?!
We have been listening to lots of different stories relating to Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have enjoyed painting pictures of the giant, upcycling boxes to make collaborative castles, and creating beautiful bean collages!
On Tuesday we had two Olympic Athletes visit our school- Richard Buck and Marylin Okoro. The children got to meet the athletes in assembly and heard all about their lives, their sport and their achievements. We even got to see their medals!
Every class had a PE lesson with the athletes in which they completed a challenging obstacle course and fast paced relay races! The children all enjoyed the day, describing it as “inspiring”, “exciting” and “challenging”.
We have a very enthusiastic and active School Council who meet every Friday lunchtime with Miss Harris. They are very proud of their role within the school and take their responsibilities very seriously. Please read on to find their first blog – written by themselves!
In a world where technology is used continuously and where children are exposed to the internet on a regular basis in many different forms, it is so important to ensure you keep your children safe when online. We have attached a webinar produced by Ofsted for parents that gives advice on how to keep your children safe online. Please also remember to book a place on the next Tricky Topics Workshop on Friday 23 March at 1.30pm where the focus will be ‘Online Safety’.
