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.

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.

We started our meeting by singing our ‘Wake Up Shake Up’ song. It was a great way to start the day. We then celebrated all of the amazing learning behaviours that we have seen in our Reception classes this week. Well done to all of our children who received postcards…

Today we held our weekly meeting. It was a pleasure to be part of such a lovely celebration of our HoWL’s superstars. Some great examples of working hard, being kind and getting smart in our Early Years. Well done everyone!

Here are our latest Be Kind, Work Hard and Get Smart superstars!! It is proving very difficult to choose just 6 stars every week as all of our Reception children are demonstrating excellent habits of work and learning in their first few weeks of full time school….Well done everyone!!

Our Reception children continue to amaze us with the wonderful start they have made to the school year. This week they have started their reading journey in daily phonics sessions. They have also enjoyed exploring mathematical thinking in our counting collections session today.

We have also continued to explore our kindness theme with the help of the Hugasaurus book. We created an anchor chart of kind actions of Hugasaurus and then we all had a great time ripping and scrunching paper to make our very own Hugasaurus!
