Reception loved art day today. They each contributed to a joint masterpiece by creating leaves and bark in the style of Kandinsky! We learnt how to make shades of the same colour using white and black to lighten or darken the colour.
We will use these to create one joint display based on our book that we have been reading in class recently, ‘Monkey Puzzle’. We will reveal the final piece soon. In the meantime, here are some photos of the children hard at work painting, cutting, sticking and having fun.

We were so lucky today to have a music session with Mr Wilcox! We learnt all about tunes and beats. We had a go at rapping and then singing our new Number bond song. We will stick these in our reading diaries today so they can teach you at home.
some children were even brave enough to try a solo in front of the whole class…

A massive well done to all of Reception for their first sports day! No tears, minimal nerves and lots of positive attitudes to give races a go! We couldn’t be prouder.
We know parents and carers were so keen to see how everyone got on so we have plenty of photos to share…

Our star this week is Kayan. He has worked so hard during HLW, doing lots of physical activity at home, joining in the 1km run everyday as well as excellent listening in our special assemblies from the dentist and the gymnast.
We are so proud! Keep up the hard work ☺️

Congratulations to Rosie-Anne for being this weeks star in Reception. She works so hard everyday and she just keeps getting better and better ☺️ We are all so proud of her.

Today YR were so happy to meet the baby chicks that have recently hatched. They were so careful and quiet as a boy chick and a girl chick were passed around and they had a turn at stroking them.
We will see them again next week to see how much they grow.

This week’s star is Theo. He always works so hard every single day, is a role model to everyone in our class and always makes us smile. Have a lovely half term ☺️.
