One Snowy Day - Monday 6th January 2025
Reception had a fabulous time visiting The Carriageworks Theatre to see a production of The Lost Gift. They were even lucky enough to meet Elva after the show. It was so wonderful for members of the public to take time to come and compliment our children on their excellent behaviour throughout the performance. Well done Reception we enjoyed an extra special treat the following day to celebrate.
What a fabulous performance of Wriggly Nativity from Reception. Every child sang, danced and said their lines beautifully to re-tell the story of the very first Christmas. Congratulations Reception we have definitely got some superstars in our class.
Children are really enjoying this very special time preparing to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
Marvellous maths! Counting, comparing, number bonds, one more/less, using mathematical language and recording all in a game of skittles.
During Black History Month children enjoyed learning about the African American artist Alma Woodsey Thomas. They were inspired to create their own art after looking at some of her brightly coloured paintings.
This half term Reception have been learning all about God’s Wonderful World. This week we focused on how God made us all different and special and loves us all.
PE is even more fun in the sunshine.
