Chalky’s Birthday

Today was Chalky the Church Mouse’s 5th birthday.  The children have been so busy all week preparing for his birthday party.

We made a to do list:

wrap a present and write a tag

make a birthday card

make decorations

make party food

get a birthday cake

get ready for party games

The children worked hard to get ready for the party and then this afternoon we had a fantastic birthday celebration.  It was heard several times that “THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!”

 

   

 

Chalky is one lucky little mouse to have such amazing Ascension friends!

Conkers, Colours and Crispy Leaves

We took advantage of the lovely weather on Wednesday, to go on an autumn leaf hunt. The children enjoyed exploring the school environment and were excited to find lots of different coloured leaves.

We tore up small pieces of the leaves we found and stuck them onto a ‘sticky leaf template’. They looked wonderful when we held them up to the light!

Our Wonderful Welcome Service

On Wednesday the 1st October, Reception spent a wonderful afternoon at the church with their special grown ups.  It was a chance to formally welcome all of our new Reception class to our school and church family.  Some year 6 children recalled their memories of their time in Reception. Then the children received a beautiful Bible, as a gift to commemorate the occasion.  We lit candles, sang a song and hung a small portrait on a tree so that the church congregation can hold the children in their prayers and thoughts.  Finally, each child rang the bell as they left to signify the start of their school journey.

First week at school …… smashed it!!

Well done to all our little superstars this week.  Everyone has settled really well into their reception class.  Routines are established and all the children can navigate their environment.  We are so proud of all the children.  Just a reminder that school lunches can be ordered on Eduspot for next week and that children will be joining the rest of the school by starting at 8.50am and finishing at 3.20pm.  Parents and carers, please remember to pop a morning snack into the blue book bag rather than in a lunch box.

Have a restful weekend!

Make a fearsome wanted poster

Complete a pirate obstacle course including walking the plank!

 

Go on a treasure hunt to find golden coins that total 5

Each activity was awarded with a pirate crystal which the children exchanged for a certificate and ice pop at the end of the day.

Well done me hearties!

Pirate Day

RECEPTION CHILDREN

 

Dear Parents/carers,

We are hoping to round off our topic with a fabulous pirate activity day.  If possible, we would like the children to come dressed as a pirate on Tuesday 15th July.

Suggestions for costumes could be:

Stripy t – shirt

Shorts

Trousers tucked into boots

Eye patch

We would prefer that accessories such as swords and hooks be left at home that day!

Many thanks

Our First School Sports Day

Today the children in Reception and Key stage one all took part in our sports day at the field.  It was lovely to see so many of our families there to support the children and cheer them along.  Reception all took part in two races – a sprint and an obstacle race.  They loved standing on the winner’s podium and getting a shiny sticker.  Well done Reception we are so proud of you.
