Ladybirds have had a wonderful week learning about the Easter story and spending lots of time in the beautiful sunshine. There has been; crafts, painting, role play, music and cooking along with so much more. Have a fantastic Easter and thank you for your fantastic support.

We have had such a brilliant week in Reception enjoying the sun and learning about the Easter story. We finished the week by making Easter nests and going on an Easter egg hunt. We hope you all have a fantastic break.

What a fun and busy week we’ve had in Reception. We have been reading the story ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ by Julia Donaldson and the children especially liked the robbers who had a cunning play to try and steal the prize cow! We’ve seen lots of ordering numbers and representing numbers in different ways and the car wash outdoors has been lots of fun too. The children have been absolute superstars and have worked so hard. We are so proud of how well they have settled back into school life.

Ladybirds have had a fantastic week, creating and designing farm animal crafts and making amazing farmyard scenes linked to our shared story of, ‘What the Ladybird Heard.’ Outside the ‘bike wash’ has also been extremely busy.

The children Reception have had great fun today learning about Chinese New Year. We have made paper chain dragons and snakes, lanterns and fans before taking part in a fan dance. The children found out they were born in either the year of the monkey or the year of the goat. We have also been cleaning, dusting and sweeping our houses to get rid of the bad luck ready to welcome a fresh new year.
We would like to say a big thank you to all of our families for their fantastic support over this half term and a big well done to all the children for never giving up and continuing to work hard. You are all superstars!

The children in Nursery have loved reading different stories this week including A Home for Ted and Elmer. They have made their own houses for their teddies as well as making their own bookmarks. Click on the video below to see some of our photographs. More blogs to follow this evening.

It has been so lovely this week to see all the children in Reception celebrating National Storytelling Week by engaging in lots of reading this week. We have shared our favourite stories, made book marks and storytelling wands and even read our favourite books to our teddies at a teddy bears tea party. Here are some photographs of this week’s reading activities.

Can you guess which traditional tale the children in Reception have been reading? After sharing the story the children then drew and made their own gingerbread men. We think they look absolutely delicious! Fantastic work everybody.

After learning about different materials yesterday the children in Reception carried out a floating and sinking experiment today. They made their predictions, tested then recorded their results brilliantly. Lots of children discovered that the metal coin sank whereas the majority of the plastic objects floated.
