VE Day Celebration

As part of our school VE day celebrations each child was asked to bring a stone to school.  Over the last few days, children painted their stones and today we created a beautiful art installation on the playground to share with our school community.  Tomorrow the stones will be collected to create a VE Day trail around Wall Heath. Take a look at some of the amazing, detailed artwork.  Do you know where your stone is?

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of our older children reflected on their thoughts and feelings about VE day.

“When I was painting my rock, I was thinking about how we weren’t painting the rocks for us, we are painting them for the community.  It’s like when the soldiers fought for me and the rest of the world”.    Freya

“When we were playing games I thought about how some children had to play in fear of the air raid shelter alarm going off”. Jake C

” While I was playing different games, I thought about how lucky I am to not be in fear; it must have been really hard to think that a German bomber could drop a bomb at any time.  I love running around, having a good time without thinking of running to an air raid shelter”.  Lauren

 

AHOY ME HEARTIES!

Farmyard Fun

Today was such an exciting time for Reception ….it was our first school trip!  We visited Ash End House Farm.  The children had an amazing time learning all about baby animals and helped Farmer Jenny and Famer Sarah with all of their jobs.  Take a look at what we got up to.

Fun at Forest School

What a wonderful time Reception have had at our fabulous forest school!  The children were in their element, learning and exploring in the outdoors.  We heard so many children saying “Forest school is the best”.

 

The mud kitchen was a huge hit.

Thanks to our wonderful Forest School leader Fiona for facilitating such a magical time.

Space

Our space topic was ‘Out of this world!’

The last 2 weeks Reception have been learning all about space.  The children have become lunar experts, learning about the moon and moon phases.  They know all about our solar system and the sun.  They can talk about why we have day and night and loved learning about the first man on the moon.  They even made space themed mother’s day cards
