Egypt Attendance Rewards

 Egypt has worked hard on their attendance which has seen them meeting their target for the past few weeks. The children were lucky enough to enjoy cupcakes for one of their rewards. The previous week when we rolled the dice, Egypt landed on an extra art lesson. Egypt explored warm and cool colours and how they can be used as a contrast to help make parts of their pictures stand out. They chose from a butterfly, a fish or the sun and moon. The class showed that their art skills are better than Miss Gibson’s. Have a look at some of the children’s pieces of artwork. Well done Egypt on your attendance achievements.

Marvellous me day in Reception

 This half term our topic focus has been "Marvellous me". We have discussed our families, our likes and dislikes and talked about ourselves. Today the children in Reception had a WOW day to celebrate the end of our topic and  they had an opportunity to showcase their individualities and celebrate what makes us, us.

Reception certificate winners

 Well done to all of our certificate winners in Reception this week. What superstars you all are, keep up the good work!

Forest school for Antigua and Jamaica Class

At Forest School this week we went conker crazy! Jamaica and Antigua learnt to use a conker holder and palm drill to make holes through conkers! Great for hand eye co-ordination and strengthening those growing fingers. We threaded them to make bracelets and spiders. We also played conker rolling, using gutters and pipes to explore angles and speed. All the children are developing their spatial awareness and risk assessment skills practising carrying big sticks safely! Can you remember what to do? "If a stick is longer than your arm, put one end in your hand, the other end on the floor and drag it along!" A great time out in our wild woods.

Reception perform another poem

 Reception got to perform another poem they learnt this week from their poetry baskets sessions. Please enjoy our version of "Leaves are falling".
