The Reception teachers are so impressed with all the fantastic work children have been doing in their Learning Logs at home so far. One of the tasks includes making models of Castles using different materials. We look forward to seeing what else the children in Reception continue to do each week.
Well Done!!!
Reception classes had a fantastic day today on their visit to Warwick Castle. We enjoyed a birds of prey display with a huge bald eagle gliding very close to our heads while we munched on our sandwiches. We watched in amazement as Europe’s largest Trebuchet fired a ball of stone before our very eyes. We watched the peacocks showing off their tails in the peacock garden and ventured back in time to medieval Warwick where we experienced the smells, sights and sounds of a household uniting and supporting their earl as he prepares for the battle of Barnet in 1471.
All in all a super day! When can we go back?
Today in Reception we had an Easter Egg hunt in our outdoor area and the children really enjoyed it. It was lovely to see them helping each other to find the eggs and everyone was really happy with their prize.
From Reception Year we hope you have a lovely Easter!
Our topic this term is Food For Thought and we have set the children a challenge to make a yummy but healthy snack for everyone to enjoy. So far we have had some delicious snacks brought in by the children including Pasta Salad, Carrot Cake, Apple Strudel Muffins and Pizza.

We would like to know what you would make if we set you the challenge?
Class 2 had some special visitors today. H brought her two hamsters into school and the children really enjoyed playing with them and learning all about them from H. H told us that the hamsters were named Bubble and Squeak and they were only 9 weeks old.
Reception enjoy a trip to pre-school today to join in with their pancake races followed by a glass of juice and a pancake. The teachers were extremely proud of their very well behaved class and much fun was had by all! Well done reception!
What happens when you add water to corn flour? This was one of the questions reception investigated this term in our science lessons. Ask your child. Was the mixture a solid or a liquid? Perhaps you might like to try it at home?
We had lots of fun learning how to sort and classify different materials. In fact one bright spark found that when separating soil and sand it made the job quicker and easier if we used pebbles in a sieve. What a clever bunch! Well done reception!
LM Impressed her teachers this term when she presented them with this wonderful picture of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
Reception have really enjoyed getting to know how to use the iPads in our IT lessons this term. They have been practising their phonics and their counting on educational apps and teaching their teachers a thing or two!
