This afternoon the reception children were joined by their families to enjoy reading in the reception garden. The children enjoyed a sweet treat alongside their stories to finish off a fantastic first week! Thank you to everyone that came it was so wonderful to see our entire reception crew together ❤️
Reception Guest Reader
Today we were so lucky to have Mrs Faulding come and read a story to us before lunch. Mrs Faulding brought one of her favourites and it was very funny!!
The children really enjoyed this and listened beautifully.
A huge thank you to Mrs Faulding, we hope you come back to see us soon 😊

Reception Book, Bear and a Bun
Our first week at school is a special and fun time! We would like to invite you to join us on our first week back into Reception on Friday 1st September from 2.30-3.00pm.
We would like to invite you to bring a teddy bear and come and share a book with your child in the reception garden and indulge in a sweet treat!
Please arrive at the gates near your child’s class (on Ash Tree Road) and a member of the Reception team will come to let you in.
The children loved this event in Nursery and we hope this one will be just as lovely and will give us a chance to meet and get to know our parents too!
We hope you can join us.

New Class 5 Transition
We had a fabulous two days transitioning into Year 1. The children were settled and motivated right from the start! I was so pleased with their effort and their behaviour. We had a great two days getting to know each other, learning and exploring our new classroom. The children began to make a beautiful piece of space art which they will bring home on their first official day in Year 1.
I am so excited for our new adventure to begin after the holidays!
Well done to the new Class 5! Have a lovely Summer and I can’t wait to see you again in the new school year.
New to Y1 superstars!
I have been truly blown away by how wonderfully the children have settled in to their new class over the last two days. They have worked so hard to produce work for our pen portrait on Valentina Tereshkova as part of the school-wide history week celebrations and have stuck to the HoWLs and classroom rules that they helped to produce. I hope you all have a fantastic summer and I can’t wait to see you again when you begin year one for real at the end of August.
Great job guys!
Y1 transition day
We have had a wonderful day learning all about Valentina Tereshkova, investigating our new classroom, making moon sand, devising new classroom rules and helping to make new displays. We will certainly have a good night’s sleep tonight!
See you tomorrow superstars!
History week – Day 1
Today in Reception we began to look into Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 launch. The children really loved seeing the videos of the rocket launch (please see the videos below if you would like to watch them at home). We talked about how the astronauts may have been feeling about the laugh and journey to space and linked this to how we are feeling about the move to year 1. The children came up with: nervous, excited, shy, worried and happy. We then went on to discuss what they would need to pack to take on their journey to year one: Good behaviour, friends, food and brains for hard work.
