The children enjoyed learning about St.George’s Day in our whole school assembly. We continued learning about St.George in our classrooms and the children were excited about the legend of his battle against a dragon. They were also excited about his armour and shield. We decided to make some shields of our own. The children really enjoyed cutting, colouring, and adding some glitter to make their shields sparkle.

This morning we planted some potatoes in our EYFS Playground. The children knew we needed to water them to help them grow. We will be using our noticing eyes to look for the green stems poking out of the compost.

RC class is looking to win the competition this year, as all 3 Reception classes are growing potatoes. Who will have the tallest plant? Who will have grown the most potatoes? We will keep you updated on the progress of our potato plant!

Go RC Class Go!

We have been busy learning about the Easter Story as Rev. Lottie , stopped by to tell us the Easter Story and answer our questions. We have also been celebrating Easter, by making Easter nests, decorating biscuits and making Easter cards (which you will receive this evening!) Have a lovely and safe end of term break and we will see you back in April!

Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped with our local walk to St.John’s Church. We had a fabulous afternoon walking around our community, having a treasure hunt in the church and learning about the Easter story from Rev.Sharon.

Here are some pictures below.

We have been learning all about our 5 senses this week. The children had lots of fun using their sense of smell to guess different smells in our smell pots, as well as a taste test of foods that were sweet, salty bitter and sour.

Although we love playing in the Reception sandpit it has been looking a little bare recently! Today we started helping Mr Carter move the …8 TONS of sand into the pit. We didn’t even manage to move half a bag and we had already moved 7 wheelbarrows full. Havyar was great at smoothing the sand out in the barrow to fit in as much sand as possible! Lots of children were keen to help us load the barrow with sand!

We have been learning a lot about Spring this term, how to take care of plants, the kind of weather to expect and noticing the signs of spring. Here are a few pictures of us noticing growing plants and planting seeds.

Following on from our Explorer Bears, we had a little explore around our school this week. using our maps to help us find the next spot the children were brilliant in spotting the landmarks around our school and walking safely and sensibly! Great work everyone! Here are some pictures below of our travels.

This week we have been learning all about birds, We have been on a bird walk in our forest school and we even made some bird cakes to put on our class tree. Here are some photos from our learning this week.

We had a special visitor in Reception this week. Zachary’s Mum, who is a Nurse came in to speak with us. We all had lot of knowledge about what Nurses do to help us, and got cracking with bandaging the sloth, using plastic syringes and using the stethoscope to listen to our heartbeat. Thank you so much for coming in!
