EYFS NEED SHOE BOXES

Class 10 National Writing Day!
Yesterday was national Writing day. This mean the children had freedom to write about a chosen image and decide what genre to write about. We had some fantasy tales, some newspaper articles and some excellent narratives. The children tried to remember features that we have used this year as well. There were some really lovely and interesting pieces of writing and what was great to see was the fun had by all when writing their pieces of work. It was a relaxed atmosphere and then we loved hearing what others wrote.
Crew Walton immersed in writing!
Crew Walton have worked so hard today, planning, writing, editing and producing final drafts of their own stories for National Writing Day. Everyone worked so hard, choosing from a range of picture stimuli from which to base their pieces. What a successful day!
Nursery are getting school ready!
We are starting to think about what starting in Reception will bring. The children have been practising collecting a cup and walking with a dinner tray like they will need to do in September. This may seem like a small thing but is actually a tricky skill for our little people when they have never had to do it before.
We think they did a great job and we’ll continue to practise in the coming weeks.
History Club
The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.
There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
Y5 Debate
The children in Year 5 planned and delivered a debate linked to our book ‘Pig heart boy’. The children worked incredibly hard to prepare structured and well thought out questions and showed respect when providing their responding arguments…a fantastic effort!
Reception Sports Day
We are so proud of all of our Reception Children for being such amazing sports at our Sports afternoon. Not only did they race beautifully but the sportsmanship and crew feel was amazing!!
A huge thank you to all of our grown ups for coming and cheering the children on.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
F2 Team
Proud writers in Nursery
This week, our phonics sounds are ‘p’ & ‘i’. The children worked really hard today practising their letter formation for ‘i’.
Beautiful work outdoors in Nursery
We’ve had a lovely afternoon exploring colour and movement using paints, cars and water. The mud kitchen is always a popular place to be. Marco and his friends have been making a “pasta bake for Mrs Hay’s tea!” Yum! I can’t wait to eat it!
EYFS World Ocean Day Wednesday 12th June
On Wednesday 12th June Nursery and Reception children will be celebrating World Ocean Day. We will be having a day filled with ocean themed activities and ask for your child to come dressed in something blue or dress as an under the sea creature.
Please do not feel pressured to buy anything new – anything blue will do!
Many thanks for your support in what we hope will be an excellent day for our children.
