I smell the blood of an Englishman! Wow, what an amazing week of learning in Reception this week. We have been reading the story Jack and the Beanstalk and had a great time exploring this further in our play. The children in Class 1 and 2 have been making giants out of play dough and construction materials, moulding magic beans out of clay, measuring leaves, creating their own artwork about the story and producing incredibly detailed story maps. I am so proud of how hard the children are working. Well done Reception!

Over the past few weeks class 1 have really enjoyed using the big bricks to make a stage, instruments and microphones. They have been putting on some very entertaining shows! Ghostbusters and Greatest Showman have been particular favourites. Class 1 has talent 😁

Class 1 have been enjoying reading in pairs this week. They have supported and encouraged one another, which has been really lovely to see!

We have also had great fun with Coach Josh and Coach Ellie from Kixx. The children all turned into pirates! They listened beautifully and their smiles just show how much they enjoyed it!

We enjoyed getting outside this morning. We thought about the importance of working as a team. Our mission was to make a bridge that went over the lava! The children did a great job 👏

We have been thinking about how exercise makes us feel good. We’ve enjoyed keeping fit together 😁

The children have really enjoyed planting their bulbs this week. We are learning all about how to take care of them 🌸🌻🌷

The children have impressed me in our shared reading sessions this week. Great stretching and reading Class 1 😁

One of the children in class 1 won a competition, which meant we got a visit from a fire engine today. The children absolutely loved it! They tried out the hose and even got to sit inside 😁

Class 1 have really impressed me with their models this week. They have been working hard in our construction area and have demonstrated their team work skills 👏

We have started our first case study ‘How can I help my body to grow?’ We had some expert visitors in today that told us all about why we have teeth, how we can keep our teeth healthy and they also gave us some top brushing tips too 😁👍

Sending a big thank you to Kirsty and Ellie, a dentist and dental nurse for taking the time to come into our school. The children have loved it!
