This week Reception were so excited to welcome Steve and the astrodome experience! We have been investigating where do stars go during the daytime and our journey into space in the astrodome helped explore this question even further!

Wow! What a busy term it has been so far! It is amazing to see how far the children have already come since they first started in September. We are so so proud of the progress the children are making in all areas of the curriculum and it is lovely watching them blossom as individuals. The children have enjoyed learning about all things space over these past couple of weeks. They have enjoyed looking at our key texts of ‘How to Catch a Star’ and ‘Look up!’ and have loved participating in all of our space themed activities, including designing, building and testing their own star catchers, making their own constellations, name rockets and telescopes, planet drawings and much much more!
Here are some pictures of the children’s fabulous writing so far this term too.

What an exciting lead up to Christmas!
The children have been busy writing instructions on how to make 'slime' sandwiches for the aliens that crash landed in our classrooms! They absolutely loved making their own 'slime' sandwiches and eating them too- yum! They were such kind friends to Pod the alien by making him lots of cards and asking him lots of questions to ensure he felt safe and supported.
We have looked at more and fewer, as well as the concept of one less through songs such as 'Five currant buns' and 'Five green bottles'. Reception have also enjoyed learning about Hanukkah .
The children loved sharing their Christmas performance with you all last week and Pine Class have thoroughly enjoyed getting into the Christmas spirit this week by writing Christmas lists, wrapping presents and making, writing and delivering Christmas cards.
We hope you have a fantastic Christmas break! Thank you all so much for your continued support!
Here are some pictures from our busy time at school.

We hope you had a restful half-term. We had a jam-packed couple of weeks leading up to the break, including wearing fantastic superhero costumes, our superhero day and getting to hear from real life heroes in our community, such as a policeman and a children's nurse. The children even got to see and sit in a real fire engine in the playground! The children also enjoyed the Reception reading morning where their adults were able to come in and enjoy reading a story with them. We all look forward to our next topic of 'Minibeasts' and the exciting experiences that are still to come.
W/B 18/03/2024
Reception loved experiencing The Very Hungry Caterpillar from an immersive story teller and we found lots of other minibeasts on the way.
We all looked brilliant on World Book Day and shared some fantastic books with our friends. Thank you all so much for your support.
On Science day we were lucky enough to participate in a rocket workshop as well some experiments, one of which involved finding out what happens when you mix lemon juice with bicarbonate of soda!
Lastly we had our 100 day party! To celebrate being in school for 100 days we did lots of activities around the number 100, including 100 movements around our sports hall, making a 100 link paper chain with our 100 best memories or Reception so far and we also made 100 biscuits! The children all looked fantastic in their 100 day hats and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
