The children have blown me away with their mathematical thinking skills in our very first counting collections session of the year! They worked beautifully in pairs, listening to one another and taking turns. Here we are in action…

The children were so happy to discover that the Kindness Elves had returned with yet another gift…
We began to explore the question ‘How do we show we care?’ through the lens of ‘The Hugasaurus’. We created an anchor chart of the kind acts Hugasaurus carried out and thought about what kind actions we do everyday. Here are some photographs of the children showing kindness…
The children enjoyed getting creative and each made their very own Hugasaurus…
Class 1 really enjoyed their first P.E session. They really impressed us with their super listening ears. They demonstrated their balancing skills and even took part in some team games.
I think the smiles show just how much fun we had…
The children have enjoyed a delicious picnic in the sunshine today. Thank you to all the parents for your kind donations. The children had such a lovely time and it was a great way to end the week.
We celebrated the end of our second full week in Reception with our Community Meeting in the sunshine. It was lovely to see lots of happy, smiley faces talking about the fun that we have had this week in crew. It was very difficult to choose our stars of the week for working hard, been kind and getting smart as all children have continued to amaze us. Well done Reception.
We were surprised to find some special visitors in our class this morning. The Kindness Elves left us a special gift…our very own ‘Everywhere Bear’.
The children have loved having snuggles and we all had a chat about what we will do with ‘Everywhere Bear’ when it is our turn to take them home.
We are hoping the kindness elves return soon! ☺️
This week in reception we have been talking to the children about our Habits of Working and Learning, which are, WORK HARD, GET SMART and BE KIND. Today we got to celebrate our stars of the week. We must say a huge well done to all of the children for settling into full time school so seamlessly.
Here are this weeks stars…
The children in Class 1 have settled in beautifully this week. They have enjoyed getting to know all the different areas of the classroom…
We’ve loved exploring our new outdoor area…
Over the past two weeks the children across Norton Campus have been creating a piece of artwork that represents an olympic sport. The children have well and truly showcased their talents and artistic flair and have produced some beautiful artwork. Today we got chance to see the work they have created and we went on a Norton Campus gallery walk. Here’s what we saw…
The children took great pleasure in walking around both sites looking at the beautiful artwork that was on display…
The children across Norton Campus also wrote some beautiful postcards to one another which were warmly received and made everyone smile 🙂
Thank you to all those involved in this. It was a great success!
This week the children have loved taking part in lots of races, including the egg and spoon race and hurdles! Take a look at them in action…
We have also taken part in a daily mile and even ran the final lap!
We enjoyed a well earned treat when we got back to the classroom…
