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!

A Wriggly Nativity

Our Reception children have performed their nativity show for their special grown ups.  They have made their families and teachers very proud.  Their singing was beautiful, they remembered so many words to tell the story and danced like no-one was watching!  They have certainly got us all in the mood for Christmas.  Well done superstars!

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!

Ship Ahoy!

Tuesday 15th July

Today we celebrated the end of our fabulous topic Ship Ahoy!  All of the children looked amazing in their pirate outfits.  The children had to complete 3 pirate training challenges:

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!
