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 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.

Building Bridges- Reception

This week in Reception the children have been using duplo bricks to build bridges across the water. They were given the extra challenge of building a bridge that wasn’t flat on the floor. We have seen some great communication team work skills from children helping each other!

Reading Buddies!

On Thursday, the Reception children and the Year 3 children got together to do some shared reading. Mrs Weston read a story to all of us before we got into partners to share a book together. The Reception children loved the older children coming to our class to read with us and we can’t wait to do it again soon.

World Book Day in Reception

We have had a brilliant day today dressing up for World Book Day. We have coloured bookmarks, shared our favourite books with our friends, read with our buddies in Year 3 and even did ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ yoga! Here are some of the photos of our day.

Welcome Kevin- Reception

This week we have introduced Kevin to the Reception children. He is going to be around to help us with social situations such as a friend not sharing with us or playing games on the playground that are a bit rough. He is also here to share happy times with us too 😊

Morning writing

We have been trying really hard on our writing recently practising every morning when we come in. On a Thursday, we have a picture and have to describe what we can see. Here is some of RM’s fantastic writing.
