Reception on World Book Day

The children all dressed as their favourite book characters.  We had Snow White, the Highway Rat, Little Red Riding Hood and Matilda to name a few.  Well done everyone, you all looked amazing!

Then it was time for the Big Book Swap.  Everyone got to go home with a new book to read at bedtime.

But a sneak peek first!

Spring has sprung!

Today the children in reception thought about what signs of spring they could find all around our school.  They were fabulous spring detectives.  They spotted lots of clues that tell us that the season of spring is finally here.  Take at look at what they noticed.

When we returned to the classroom, the children created some beautiful snowdrop artwork using pastels.

It has hatched!

It was a toy dinosaur!  The teachers had tricked the children.  We all thought it was very funny.  It is the start of our new mini topic all about prehistoric times.

An Eggciting discovery!!

This afternoon Mrs York found an unusual object in our sand pit.  The children thought it was an egg left by a dinosaur.  They spent the afternoon researching what dinosaur might have laid it and writing posters to let everyone in the school know what has happened.

 

                     

 

We will keep a close eye on the situation and keep you all updated!

DPA Harmony 2026

On Thursday afternoon, the whole school took part in DPA’s annual Harmony event for Children’s Mental Health Week. We joined with over 300 schools across the West Midlands to sing and promote wellbeing. This involved singing the ‘Connecting Together’ song along with sign language, as well as some popular classics. We also learnt about the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’.

Good Health Week

                                     

Wow, what a busy week in Reception!

We have had an amazing time, learning all about people who help us, our emotions, how to cross the road safely, Pantosaurus, water safety, online safety and how to keep our teeth sparkling clean.  Then at the end of the week the children had their personal development time where they participated in an activity of their choosing. Thank you so much to our wonderful visitors who help make this week so memorable for our little learners.  Take a look at a few photos to see what we’ve been up to.

The Toy Museum

This week , Reception children have been learning about what toys from the past were like.  They had a fabulous time playing with lots of them.  They noticed that many of the toys were made from wood.  After a lot of fun and discussion they decided that they still prefer their own toys.

Respect Core Christian Value

This week in assembly, Mrs Mason talked about how we can be kind and respectful to ourselves.  In class, Reception thought about respecting themselves, others and the environment. They popped their ideas in a magic watering can and made a respect flower grow!  They enjoyed making beautiful respect badges to show their grown ups.

Wellbeing Buddies

Our wellbeing buddies have had their final meeting of the year and have decided on a new focus for the next term which is ‘giving’.  We reflected on our successes from this term and have made some great suggestions for next term.  Well done, Buddies!
Also in the new term, our wellbeing buddies will be working with our new educational mental health practitioner, Hayley, for some training in their important role.  We will introduce Hayley officially to all children and parents in the new term – exciting times!
