We love reading and sharing stories with our friends. Every morning we take turns to read a book in front of our class. We are very kind and we praise children for trying their best, supporting each other and reading with enthusiasm. We love our class reading crew!

This week in reception we have been reading ‘Whatever Next’. In the story Baby Bear makes a rocket and takes off to the moon. In our crews we decided to build our own rockets using various materials. The children demonstrated great team work skills and had some amazing ideas…

They worked so hard we decided to reward their efforts with a biscuit in the sunshine 🌞 Great work reception 👏 👍 😀

This week in our expedition we have been exploring transport that works in water. We read nonfiction books that provided more information about different types of boats and how these have changed over time.

The children then used their creative design skills to make boats out of bottle tops and other materials. The challenge was to make their boat float and investigate how to make it move across the water. There was brilliant collaboration between the children and many exciting boat races taking place!

Class one have been on a gallery walk today. We looked at pictures of different types of water transport and wrote down all the things we noticed. The children blew me away with what they wrote down and the knowledge they had! 😊

We enjoyed learning about floating and sinking in our crew session today. The children made sensible predictions and recorded their findings. Great job, 👏 Mrs Chadwick xx
