Class 4 VE Day

The children in class 4 had a blast celebrating VE Day! They got creative with playdough and crafting their own vibrant flags to mark this special day in history. Some fun facts they learned today:

  • VE Day stands for Victory in Europe Day.
  • It marks the end of World War II in Europe.
  • People celebrated in the streets with dancing and flags.
  • Soldiers returned home to their family.

We are mathematicians!

Class 4 have been working so hard this week in maths. We have been looking at our numbers to 20 and number patterns, including numbers lines to 20, missing numbers and ordering numbers. the children were really good at finding mistakes in a number line and explaining why they knew there were errors.

Reception Family Learning

A huge thank you to all who joined us for our family learning and fundraiser today. All the children had a wonderful time and were able to get some goodies to take home.  It was so lovely seeing the children have so much fun and sat enjoying looking at books in the sunshine with you all today.

We raised £134 for our expedition learning. Thank you so much for your generosity and donations, we hope you have a lot of fun with all of the purchases and prizes.

SUNCREAM

As the weather is finally getting warmer, we kindly ask you to apply suncream to your child before they come to school. 

We ask for or you to provide your child with a NAMED bottle of suncream, hat and water bottle to ensure sun safety for our children. Please ensure bottles are only filled with water.

You will be asked to sign next to your child’s name when you bring in the suncream to Nursery or Reception which gives staff permission to apply your child’s suncream to your child should they need help to do this. Please give the suncream to a member of staff and not place it in your child’s bag (we have had a few explosions in the past!). 

Your child’s suncream can then remain in their class and returned to you at the end of the summer term.

If you have any questions, please ask. 

Many thanks, 

Mrs Hay, Mrs Burton, Mrs Wallace & Mrs Jones

Reception- XP Outdoors Natural Artwork

During our afternoon XP Outdoor sessions, Reception pupils had a wonderful time exploring their creativity in nature! Using natural resources they found around the school grounds — such as leaves, sticks, stones, and petals — the children created their very own pieces of artwork.

It was fantastic to see how imaginative everyone was, using different textures, shapes, and colours to design their masterpieces. Well done to all of Reception for your brilliant efforts and beautiful creations!
