Reception Bollywood Dancing

We had a fabulous treat today and had the pleasure of some Bollywood dancing this morning. We learned a dance and then performed it to our grown ups that came to join us.

Then our grown ups performed the dance for us!

We enjoyed it so much and we had so much fun!

A huge thank you to everybody that came today and thanks to all our parents/carers for supporting us to provide such great experiences.


Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

One parent/carer is invited to attend to join the children for Diwali/Bollywood dancing. Please come to the main school entrance 5 minutes prior to your designated time to sign in and ensure a prompt start.

If you haven’t already done so, please pay £5 on your child’s Parent Pay which covers the cost for yourself and your child to take part in what will be a very exciting and memorable family learning.

Reception- Owl Babies

The children in reception have explored the key text ‘Owl babies’ as part of their expeditionary guiding question ‘What do stories tell us about Autumn? ‘ The children have focussed on the descriptive language in the text and of recalling the story to each other. Here is some of our beautiful work.

Reception Reading Week

This week we got involved with the Reading is Magic Festival. We listened to the story Julian is a mermaid. A story of friendship, acceptance, celebration and expressing yourself.

We got to watch the real life author of the story read it to us, it was wonderful!
Well done Reception Crew

Reception Reading Week

To celebrate World Poetry Day, we spent some time this morning reading a poem. We talked about how it made us feel and the children said it made them feel relaxed and sleepy 😴

After we had read the story we then got busy and recorded what the poem was about and how it made us feel using pictures.

Well done everyone for being amazing!

Reception Reading Week

We have been continuing our love for Reading Week in our phonics sessions. We have now started shared reading and we are enjoying trying to read our green words using our blending skills!

Keep up the super work everyone.

If you would like to check out our Shared Reading book or the sounds that we are learning weekly, please have a look at our EYFS Extended Study tab and this information will be shared weekly.

Reception Reading Week

We have had so much fun in our reading week this week, our children have been really excited about discussing reading, reading in provision and especially being able to buy some brand new books.
We have been taking time to read together in our COOL time.

We especially liked reading stories linked to our Expedition. It has inspired us to read more in our COOL time.

Mrs Wallace 😊
