Reception Chick Update!
We have had a very exciting day in reception observing and watching our chicks grow and change! We currently have 4 chicks! Suggested names are flying around for them! The children have been looking at the chicks in detail and have begun writing words to describe the chicks. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow morning brings!
Reception Community Crew
What a fantastic community crew we have had today! We have celebrated so much beautiful work, children reading regularly at home, Howl point winners and our Crew Champions! Here are some of our superstars from this week! Congratulations to Regan and Jack our super Crew champions!
Reception – We love reading!
A huge well done to our children who brought in their reading packs to share in class on Friday! We enjoyed the story of Farmer Duck together this week. Here it is read by Michael Rosen if you would like to watch it together!
The children enjoyed lots of reading activities together including reading a sentence and drawing the matching picture! There are lots of activities you could do at home too!
Reception are mathematicians!
Last week in maths the reception children have been exploring matching number and quantities. Here is our collaborative team challenge! We had to work together to build the highest tower in a minute. We had to compare how many bricks were in the tallest and smallest towers and then had the extra challenge of building them all with the same amount of bricks! Here are some of our moments in action
Reception Science Week – Chicks in F2.
We are very excited that we have had 10 eggs delivered today in reception. We are hopeful that these eggs will hatch and then we will have some chicks in our classroom by the end of the week.
We will keep you posted on the progress of this and what we find out this week.

Green Top Science Week
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!

F2 World Book Day
We had an awesome world book day in reception today. The children all looked amazing, with some really awesome costumes. We enjoyed lots of our favourite stories together.
We enjoyed playing outside in the lovely sunshine in our costumes too. What a great day!

F2 Fieldwork
We had an amazing time at the farm today. We were able to hold, stroke and even feed the animals. We made some beautiful animal craft and we had a really exciting, albeit bumpy tractor ride. We even had time to play on the park.
The children were so engaged and behaved beautifully. They were a credit to the school and to themselves – Well done everyone!
A huge shout out to all the grown ups that came along to help and support our children and the school today, you are all amazing.
We hope that everyone enjoyed it much as we did.

Reception Fieldwork visit
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
Miss Carter
