Reception’s music lessons with Mrs Beech

Reception have really enjoyed playing the musical instruments in their music lessons with Mrs Beech. These were funded by your donations to fundraising events run by the PTFA at St George’s. Thank you to the PTFA for fundraising for us. Here are some photos of the children playing the instruments!

 

Reception’s St George’s day 2024

We had such a wonderful time dressing up for St George’s day last week. We also enjoyed learning a song all about the legend of St George and the dragon. I have attached the link below

The Legend Of St.George | Songs for kids in English | Pep López & Berni Armstrong – YouTube.

We also enjoyed looking at the different coats of arms for our surnames. Some children decided to make their own coats of arms. Photos of these are below. Archie did a brilliant picture of the dragon which is now framed outside of Reception.

Reception are Growing Cress

This week we have been reading the story Oliver’s Vegetables by Vivian French. We have talked about growing vegetables and what all plants need to grow. We found out that cress doesn’t have to grow in soil as long as it is planted on something that can absorb water and be kept moist. We have started to grow some cress in school and are looking forward to observing the changes of the seed as it grows.

Reception Chick update day 2

We were all so excited to see two more chicks had hatched overnight last night. These were a boy and a girl which are now in the brooder box with their friends who were born yesterday. Some of the children were also lucky to watch two more boy chicks hatch today! These two are getting all warm and fluffy in the incubator and we will move them to be with their friends in the brooder box tomorrow. Hope you like the photos. We can’t wait to share more photos of the chicks with you all as they get bigger! The children have all been thinking of names for the chicks and we will vote on these tomorrow in RC and RM. RB have already voted and their chicks are Lola and Zachary!

 

 

World Art Day

On Monday 15th April it was World Art Day. To celebrate this we had a special assembly for both KS1 and KS2 where we learnt that World Art Day is on Leonardo Da Vinci’s birthday. During the Assembly, every child had a piece of paper and a pencil and we drew our own Zentangles. We looked at different lines that can be used and different ways to use them. The children really enjoyed the assembly and drew some beautiful Zentangles.

 

Reception’s chicks!

On Monday, we had an exciting delivery of 10 eggs which we are waiting to see hatch. This morning, we were so excited to see that our first chick had hatched overnight. Lots of children and an excited Mrs Bridgewater watched the 2nd chick hatch this afternoon during free-flow! Both chicks, which we think are girls due to their brownish feathers, are doing well. We will continue to update you with how many chicks we have.

Reception Bakers

Reception’s story of the week is ‘The Little Red Hen’. To make sure that we are all good helpers, we have all taken a turn to make bread. We enjoyed feeling and shaping the dough. It then got baked so we could take it home. The delicious smell has certainly made our mouths water.

Reception had a visit from the local Police

This morning, we had a visit from PC Jervis and his colleagues who brought their police van and lots of clothing to show us. We had a fantastic talk from PC Jervis about his job and how it is his job to keep people safe. We got to try on some of the clothing officers wear and also got to look at the inside of the police van, some of us even sat in the back! We had a wonderful morning. Thank you to PC Jervis and colleagues for coming into school to talk to us. Here are a selection of photos from the visit.
