Parents/carers,
Just a few reminders for tomorrow based on questions today:
- Your child WILL have a packed lunch provided by school tomorrow unless you have stated that you DO NOT want one.
- Children arrive to school for the normal starting time 8:30am
- Children will be back for homEtime at 3pm
- Children need to wear comfortable clothing and nothing that will spoil. If you would like your child to wear their uniform that is ok too.
Thank you

Maths – Capacity
We have been learning all about capacity in Reception. We have been working hard to understand and use the language of capacity including, full, half full, empty, nearly empty, nearly full. The children were amazing at showing their learning in their own play.
Reception Maths week
We have enjoyed doing lots of fun maths activities this week. We have loved doing some practical things and we were being human scales and finding things that were heavier and lighter.
We had so much fun and it was lovely to hear the children using the correct mathematical vocabulary in the lesson, but then in their play too.
Well done everyone

Reception – Making our product
On Tuesday we designed our own plant pots and critiqued them so that it would be our best work, thinking about a beautiful design and keeping it neat. On Wednesday we had so much fun painting our own plant pots based on our designs, we worked hard to make sure they matched our designs and used fine paintbrushes to make sure we could get all the details on.
Crew Champion
Well done to these children for showing us all the character traits of being a Crew champion. You deserve this and we are so proud of you.

Community Crew

Maths Week Activity 2!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?
Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?
Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?
Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!
Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!
Reception are Gymnasts !
This week in PE the reception children have been using their bodies to balance and travel in different ways. The children worked really hard to make shapes using their bodies thinking about how they could make wide, tall, thin, small, curved and linear shapes. Here are some of our snapshots!
