To complete our week of Healthy Lifestyles, today we focussed on a healthy mind!

We completed mindful colouring listening to calm music, practised deep breathing exercises (ask us about the smelling the flower and blowing the leaf technique), and we also went to relax and watch the clouds pass by, looking at the shapes they make.

Such a relaxing day in this glorious weather.

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?
