It was lovely to celebrate all of the hard work we have seen in Reception classes this week. Some great examples of working hard, being kind and getting smart. Well done Reception.

The children came into school today full of excitement. We began the day by drawing our very own snowman. Here are some of our beautiful drawings…

The children were eager to get outside in the snow. We had a magical time outside and there were smiles all around! We are all hoping for more snow very soon 🙂

Well done to all of our amazing HoWLs stars of the week. It was lovely to hear how you are all being kind, working hard and getting smart. You are all amazing role models – keep up the super work!

It’s been a busy few weeks in class 1. We started this half term with a bang and carried out a ‘fizzy firework’ experiment! The children enjoyed making predictions and made observations. We then made our own sparklers using straws, tissue paper and pipe cleaners. The children took an interest in learning about the past and listened attentively to ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ story.

One of our favourite times of the day is being outside. The children have recently took an interest in finding different insects. They have handled them with love and care…

Class 1 continue to blow me away with their hard work in our phonics and maths sessions. We have been using our segmenting fingers to spell words and have enjoyed counting some new collections that have appeared in our counting library. For such young learners they show a real love for learning. Well done for a great start to this half term Class 1…

Today we celebrated the end of a very busy first week back after the half term holidays. We gave praise to all of our Reception children for being kind and working hard this week. They have all made us so proud. Special mentions were also given to the children below who have been role models in class all week.

We also felt very lucky to receive thank you cards from members of our local community at the food bank and Campsall Church. They were delighted with our kindness in donating items for the food bank at harvest time and also our flower bouquet and straw dollies for members of the congregation at the church.

Keep up the super work Reception, you are all amazing!

We had a very spooky start to our day today!! It was lovely to celebrate the end of our Reception children’s first half term in full time school…..what an amazing job they have all done, working hard, being kind and getting smart.

This week the reception children enjoyed a walk to Campsall Church. We took with us the corn dollies that the nursery children made, along with a harvest flower bouquet that was handmade by our reception children. The church wardens were delighted with our gifts. This act of kindness made the children feel happy and we enjoyed showing that we care in our local community.

The children behaved impeccably on our walk and we were very proud of them.

The children always enjoy learning beyond the walls of the classroom and what a wonderful outdoor space we have to develop curious minds.

This week the children considered the question… ‘is it only humans that show they care?’ We quickly discovered that we share our world with amazing animals who show kindness, love and care in lots of different ways. We were lucky enough to meet Ralph, a therapy dog from the charity Pets are Therapy. The children loved hearing all about Ralph and the important job that he has bringing people joy and happiness.

After the visit we thought about all the words we could think of to describe Ralph. Here are just a few…
