Reception

We were learning all about coins . The boys were given the task to sort the coins into different groups, they used masking tape to divide the groups. They decided on 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and then extra sections for the ones with shields on. They did a brilliant job and worked at it […]

As part of our work on the book Oliver’s vegetables we made our own ratatouille. We had to carefully chop peppers, aubergine, mushrooms, celery, spinach and courgette. We added chopped tomatoes and then the next day had it for our snack. Everyone tried it, it was loved by some and not so much by others.

This week we are talking and sharing our new vision for our school.  We will be distributing this to all of our parents this week.  It encompasses our new values which have been agreed through consultaiton with all of the school family. vision statement  

We had a brilliant time up in the woods. We were trying to build Dens for Jack from Jack and the beanstalk, we used twigs for the structure and then used sheets and pegs to make sure the rain couldn’t get in. We even got to have our snack in our dens!

We were using the small world props to retell the story of Jack and the beanstalk. We kept the book close by to make sure we were remembering everything and put on a scary voice for the giant. 

We made some delicious shortbread biscuits and then used icing pens to turn them into scary skeleton biscuits.

  We were very lucky to have a local paramedic come into visit us. She showed us what to say when making an emergency phone call, how to do bandages, what was in her kit back and how to put on leg splints. We learnt lots of important information.

Just before the holidays Ted brought in some frogspawn from his pond. We made a small pond in our water tray using water from the school pond. We came back after the holidays to discover they had turned into tadpoles! We are checking them daily to see if they grow. .

As part of our work in science week, we were trying to make boats that floated from tinfoil. It was tricky but we managed to do it and kept the marbles dry as well.
