What a busy week it has been in Reception! Following on from the children’s interest in the characters in The Three Billy Goats Gruff story, the children were amused by the Troll and his unusual characteristics. We have had a week of scary, gruesome and creepy monsters! In the Imaginary Room the children used construction and imaginative ideas to create a den for the monsters to hide in. Additionally, in the Explorers Room they have enjoyed collating responses from their peers to create a tally chart of their favourite monsters; some children counted in fives to find the total. In the Art Studio, it has been particularly lively with monster creations; this included making clay monsters, junk modelling, and blow painting using straws and masks of characters from ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. We have noticed that this interest has encouraged many children to confidently communicate and develop their social skills.
Library Club
Every Monday and Friday lunchtime, the school library is open between 12:15 and 12:45pm – come alone for some relaxation or with a friend and share a book.
Book Swap Stop
It’s totally free and a great way of recycling reading material! Visit the Book Swap Stop in the main reception area and begin swapping; bring in a book you no longer wish to own (in good condition) and take a new one, to keep, in its place.
Miss Hately and I are looking forward to hearing from you at the next Parent Forum. Make sure you book a place!
This week in Reception, the children have been really excited when learning about the Three Billy Goats. Across all three classrooms the children have been engaged in activities from acting out the story to making clay goats. Lots of learning has been taking place!
Walking to school is a fantastic way of keeping healthy and looking after the environment. Plus you can even win prizes for yourself, your class or maybe the whole school!
The Reception classes have all been working very hard producing their goods ready to be sold at Enterprise Week! They are very excited to welcome family members to their stall and are looking forward to the Christmas market.
It’s Chrrrrrrrrrrrristmas! Snowman cupcakes, candy land explosions, Christmas jumpers, a carol concert and a delicious Christmas lunch! At JWI it certainly is the season to be JOLLY!…
This week in Reception has been a deliciously exciting time! The children have been showing us their fabulous baking skills for our Bake Off theme of ‘Winter Wonderland’.
The Reception classes have been a hive of activity this week throughout the whole provision!
