Reception Week Beginning 26.6.23

Another busy week has flown by!

This week, the children have been researching lots about spiders and learning about their habitats and the many different ways that they catch their prey. The class enjoyed listening to the story Aaaarrgghh Spider! by Lydia Monks. You can hear the story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5df388jmToo

Reception discussed whether or not a spider would make a good pet and thought about the things that they are frightened of.

The highlight of the week for Reception was their first ever Sports Day. The children were absolutely fantastic, showing great support towards one another, excellent behaviour and wonderful listening skills. Their teachers were very proud of them!

Inspired by the different events from the day, many of the children have been making up their own sports activities for their friends to complete ever since. A particular favourite has been creating different obstacle courses.

Today we were treated to a sneak preview of the Year 6 end of year production and it was absolutely fantastic!! No photos, as we don’t want to spoil the surprise for the Year 6 parents and rest of the school!

Next week, we are really looking forward to our trip to London Zoo. Please remember to pack a water bottle, provide a sun hat and apply sun cream to keep your child safe from the sun. Every child will need a back pack to carry their own water bottle and lunch (even if they are having a school packed lunch).

Finally, don’t forget that there is a school INSET day on Monday.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Reception Team
