Well done to all of our superstars this week. It was lovely to share some wonderful acts of kindness and lots of examples of children working hard and trying their best, especially in phonics and maths. Keep up the super work Reception.
We have had lots of excitement in EYFS this week with the delivery of some eggs from the Happy Chick Company. We have observed the eggs as the chicks have hatched. We have been mesmerised by them…..
We have learnt how to look after the eggs and also the chicks as they have hatched:
We can’t wait to hold them when they get a little bit stronger!
This week in Reception we have continued to be storytellers using ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ story to inspire our learning. We have continued to put actions to the story so that we can act it out from beginning to end. We are getting very good at remembering all of the key vocabulary and using our words in the correct order.
We have also enjoyed taking part in lots of activities in our provision areas. We have used finger paints to create our own caterpillars, making sure we added the correct amount of parts to the body. We have been scientists by finding out about life cycles and have also used our phonic knowledge to write simple sentences about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
We had some very unusual visitors to class 2 this week. As part of Hook Week to our new expedition, a ranger from the Animal Club brought a selection of his animals to see us. We were allowed to touch a giant cockroach that hissed very loudly, a giant African snail and a very wriggly white mouse. We also got to see a stick insect, tarantula, spiky tailed lizard and a huge lazy frog that likes to sleep lots!!
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.
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!
Children in Class 2 have loved exploring the outdoors this week. We have spent lots of time playing in our wonderful outdoor area. Many children have been amazing stewards and have used sweeping brushes and wheelbarrows to sweep and move the huge amount of leaves that have fallen from our tree. We have also had some fabulous examples of mark making, children were especially keen to draw fireworks that they had seen on Bonfire Night.
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!
This week we have been thinking about all of the different ‘caring’ jobs that people in our community do. We were very lucky to have a visit from Askern Fire Service. We loved looking around the fire engine and learning about the amazing jobs that the firefighters do. Our favourite part of the visit was when we heard the sirens – they were very loud but they made us smile!
We also went for a walk this week to Campsall Church to deliver a beautiful a beautiful bouquet of flowers that we made. We met the church wardens who were really grateful for our gift which will be displayed for the local community to enjoy.
