What a wonderful week we’ve had in Reception as we completed our topic on Transport! This week, we focused on London — its landmarks, ways of getting around the city, and all the exciting things you might see if you visited. The children absolutely loved exploring our capital city! We listened to the story Miles […]
Our theme this week was trains, and we loved reading the story Oi! Get Off My Train by John Burningham. The story led us into some thoughtful discussions about endangered animals and how we can help to protect them. The children were so curious and caring — they thought of lovely ideas like planting more […]
This week, we read The Naughty Bus. The children made their own buses, they made road maps with buses on, they made pictures with lots of different vehicles and they painted road signs. The children thought about where they would like to travel to on a bus and wrote sentences. In Maths, we have […]
Our theme this half term is transport. This week we read the story Where the Wild Things are. Max travelled on a boat across the water. We thought about different ways to travel across water and the children talked about where they would go to on a boat. The children made boats using tin foil […]
I hope you had a lovely Easter! On Sunday, we heard the sad news about Pope Francis. The children have painted pictures of Pope Francis and written thank you prayers for him. They thought about how they can show kindness like Pope Francis did. The children made Popemobiles. Wednesday was St George’s Day. We read […]
Well done to the Reception children. They have completed two terms at school! This week, we have been learning about the Easter Story. We acted out the story of when Jesus travelled to Jerusalem. Then we listened to the story of the Last Supper and acted it out. Then we read the story of Good […]
This week we read the Enormous Turnip. They enjoyed acting the story out. The children’s writing has been fantastic this week, they wrote about what they would use to pull the turnip out, they made books to retell the story and wrote list of the characters in the story. They have been making models using […]
On Monday, we had a science workshop with two scientists. The children built homes for animals to adapt in, they made a boat and tested whether it floated or sank, they made birds and camouflage animals. This week we read the story The Scarecrow’s Wedding. The children made scarecrows, made wedding vehicles and wedding gifts. […]
We have had a fun week for Science Week. We made parachutes and kites and flew them in the playground. Then we had a important job! We had to help Mrs Heymoz to find the best biscuit to dunk in her tea. First we predicted which one we thought would be the best, then we […]
This week, we have been reading the story Farmer Duck. The children hot seated the characters and asked each other questions. They wrote about what the farmer might have done next. They made ducks, drew story maps and painted pictures of the story. On Tuesday, we celebrated Mardi Gras by decorating pancakes, pancake races, […]
