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.

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.
