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!
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.
Today we had a beautiful graduation day in Reception. We started the day all together in the hall and watched our end of year videos for the first time. We then had our mini pass out where the children got to have their turn to dance/walk/run down the red carpet and have a photo taken with a cap and scroll. Children will receive these photos on Thursday to bring home.
A huge THANK YOU to all the children this year in Reception. You have made this year beautiful, with all you hard work and kindness. We hope you enjoy watching your videos as much as we did.
A Huge well done to all of the children in reception today. You made everyone so proud today with how well you did in your races and your sportsmanship towards all members in your crews was lovely to see.
All the staff would also like to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents for your supports today from cheering for the children to joining in with all the activities afterwards. We hope you enjoyed it as much and us and the children did.
Well done to these children for being our Out of this World for the final time in Reception! Their friends voted for them and gave really lovely reasons why they thought they deserved it! Well done everyone.
Well done to these children for being our final HOWL point winners for this Reception year!
You have worked so hard and we are all so proud of you!
We will be collecting all home school reading books from Monday. If you would like to continue reading at home there are some lovely online reading books. Please also find previous blog posts that contain links to our shared reader books for you to access at home. We will also be sending home a list of the ‘RED words’ (not decodable) that the children have been learning this year in readiness for Year One, We still need lots of practice with this as these are easy to forget without our daily practice.
The reason for this is so we can complete an audit of the books we have in order to ensure we are able to order any needed in preparation for the new school year.
Thanks for your continued support.
The Reception Team
Our reception sports day will take place Thursday 13th July. This will be at 9.00am. Parents are invited to watch their children compete in some races on the KS2 field and then join the children with some activities. Please can children arrive at the usual time to register in class and parents can then make their way around to the seated area on the field. Children can wear any comfy clothing or sports wear such as shorts, t-shirt and trainers for the full day. Please can children also be provided with a sunhat and suncream just incase.
We look forward to you joining us for the morning!
We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday at our EYFS Celebration of Learning. There was so much to see and do and we were so lucky to have bouncy castles and an old fire engine.
We would like to thank all of our grown ups that came to play with our children and support us in our celebration.
Another huge thanks to the food vans that came also, they were enjoyed by many.
Finally, a huge thanks to our children for working so hard in our expedition.
We hope you enjoyed it.
