What a busy week of learning! In RE, Reception have been learning about Lent and how we prepare for Easter by praying to bring us closer to God, by giving to others less fortunate than ourselves and by doing kind things for others. The children wrote their Lenten promises which were used as part of […]
Have you ever wondered what happened to the dish and the spoon when they ran away in the nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle, Diddle? This week Reception class found out when they heard the story, ‘The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon’ by Mini Grey. The children had lots of fun thinking and writing about what they […]
Well, we are officially half way through our first year of school and to mark it, Reception performed their first ever class assembly today, all about love. Their teachers were very proud of them all- Well done Reception Class! As part of the school’s Other Faith Week, Reception have been learning about Judaism. On Tuesday […]
Our story focus this week has been the ‘The Ugly Duckling’. The class have spent lots of time discussing the positive aspects of being different, and recognising and celebrating the similarities and differences between themselves. Inspired by the ending of the story, some of the class decided to make their own flying creations and test them outside! […]

During this time, the children have written their own versions of the story in various different forms and have also written ‘Wanted’ posters to help find Goldilocks. They […]

Thank you to all of the parents who accompanied us. On Wednesday, we had our Christmas dinner with our friends and teachers. The food was […]
After the excitement of last week’s Nativity performance, we have tried hard to keep to the usual daily class routines! In Maths, we have been very busy focussing our learning on the concept of time. The class have had lots of fun trying to complete various challenges against the clock, using both digital and sand […]
