Wow……Nursery and Reception had so many postcard winners in our community meeting this week. Lots of kindness being shown by the youngest children in our school and some great examples of working hard and getting smart. Keep up the super work everyone.
We had a super start to our day celebrating with our Be Kind, Work Hard and Get Smart stars from Nursery and Reception this week. We heard some fabulous examples of children persevering with tasks and challenging themselves and each other. What a super week, well done to everyone in our Nursery and Reception classes.
The children enjoyed their fish and chip lunch today. They showed great respect when the whole school came together to celebrate the peace and freedom that VE day represents.
This morning we celebrated all of our learning in Early Years throughout the week. It was lovely to share our community meeting with our Nursery children and it was great to hear how hard they are all working for Mrs Winkley and Mrs Mortimer. We also shared Arthur’s amazing achievements at karate and he even showed us some of his moves!!
Here are our certificate winners for the week:
Our reception children have had a wonderful week exploring our learning environment. They have been designing and making some wonderful models in our construction areas. They have also taken their phonics outdoors and have been amazing us with some of the long words they have been writing! They have been planting their own seeds and observing them as they grow and change into little shoots. Finally, all children have been marvellous mathematicians and have been identifying and explaining ‘doubles’. They have taken part in our whole class lessons and then accessed number areas independently to further develop their understanding. A super week of learning – well done Class 2!
We loved our PE session this morning where we practised lots of skills at a series of stations. We travelled across and jumped off of different apparatus. We worked on our ball skills, kicking a football and dribbling around cones and also using basketballs to bounce balls to ourselves and our partners. We also practised Yoga poses that we have learnt recently. It was great fun and was brilliant to see children challenging themselves and moving with great control and confidence. A great effort by everyone in Class 2 today!
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!!
