Today we went exploring our local area to conduct some fieldwork. We used our observational skills to look for the different signs of nature in our local area. Whilst on our walk we saw Hawthorne trees, holly, thistles, brambles, ferns, buttercups, daisies and foxgloves. We even spotted some butterflies and ducks too. We saw the local landmark of the Wrekin in the distance. The children were very well behaved following the Be Smart code and enjoyed looking at the variety of nature around us.

Another amazing day in Reception.

We have had a great week learning about our Queen and the upcoming Jubilee. See our photos of the lovely arts and crafts we have completed these week, along with celebrations from our Jubilee day yesterday. We had a street party lunch, a party in the afternoon and even George our class bear had a royal makeover. He was joined by a friendly Corgi for the day.
Have a wonderful holiday.

Reception have been learning about the Queen today. What fun facts can you remember?
We are all set to join in the celebrations tomorrow. Look at our amazing Jubilee art inspired by both the Queen and the artist Mondrian.

Please remember children are invited to come in dress down clothes with a red, white and blue theme!

Today we had a wonderful music lesson with Mr Wilcox. He taught us all about how to create a beat using the wooden claves. We even made a beat in time to our voices. Can you make a beat in time at home?

This week we revisited our learning about the artist Kandinsky. We remembered so many facts that Miss Hailey was so proud of us. Here are some examples of the facts we remembered:

” Kandinsky was a teacher. He didn’t want to be a teacher anymore. He wanted to do a different job. He wanted to be an artist.” – Harry

”He was abstract. That means different things from his imagination.” – Jack

”He painted circles.” – Elena

“He used bright and dark colours.” – Alex

”Kandinsky used paints. He makes pictures of his music.” – Primrose

”Kandinsky lived in Russia.” – Joe

”He used paints to paint shapes.” – Jomi

”Kandinsky painted his own stuff, made up things his head.” – Louie

Here is a display of our class  masterpiece! We made Kandinsky inspired snails 🐌. Check your Evidence Me app for photos of your own child paining their snails.
