What we will be learning this term.

Our topic this term is ...... 'It's a Bug's Life'

Today Seahorses, starfish and Dolphins had a virtual visit from Claire Freedman, author of Aliens Love Underpants! The children asked some great questions.

Wow! What a great afternoon visiting Waterstones book shop. Seahorse class listened to stories and had the chance to buy a book with their vouchers

Seahorses have really enjoyed reading our favourite five stories this week and today they voted for their favourite.

Some super teamwork and maths knowledge in Seahorses this morning! Independently ordering numbers to 10.

Seahorses have been sharing their 'All About Me' bags with the class. We've found out about a chicken with an unusual name, witnessed some great yoyo skills, seen a fantastic play dough snake and heard all about a very cute baby brother!

Starting School - Our first day in Reception Class.

Our previous topics this school year ......

Superb hold a sentence from these Sparkling Seahorses in Read, Write Inc 

Today Seahorses have been learning about which farm animals lay eggs and which produce milk. Some of the children worked together with Miss Green to create their own cow so they can have a go at milking it!

Some fantastic knowledge of number bonds to ten from this Sparkling Seahorse today! Well done!!

After sharing the Easter story today, Reception made some fantastic Easter gardens.

Amazing maths skills from this Sparkling Seahorse in provision today. Sofia was able to rearrange the numbers into the correct order and spotted which one was missing. She then made her own number card for the missing number. Great work! #MathsEveryoneCan

As part of World Book Day, Reception Class visited our local The Bridge Library.  We shared some wonderful books with our friends.

We’re loving #WorldBookDay in Reception today! Can you guess what our favourite books are?

What a great way to start #WorldBookDay by sharing our favourite books with our friends in Reception!

We had an AMAZING time at Rand Farm today!

Reception had a great time exploring some of the farm themed provision today. What a lovely introduction to our new topic 'Down at the Farm' #farming #curiosity

Anyone interested in trying one of Reception’s potions they have been busy making today? Apparently they “Make you feel better when you are poorly.” #imagination

Reception have been really enjoying painting different places they would like to visit in provision today, the beach was a clear winner! #everychildisanartist

Learning about different foods that are eaten during Chinese New Year and what they represent, lion dancing and even some dragon dancing! What a great day in Reception #allaroundtheworldweek

Great determination from this young man in Reception today! Building The Great Wall of China all by himself. He was very keen to explain all the features he had included after looking at photos of the wall, fantastic job!

Reception have been getting ready for our Lion Dancing tomorrow by making our own lion masks.

Finding out all about Chinese New Year in Reception today, traditional clothing, lanterns, lion dancing and Chinese name writing!

Seahorses were very excited to share one of our 'Favourite Five' stories at the end of the day, they were desperate to help to tell the story and had great fun acting it out too! Can you guess which story it is?

Some fantastic teamwork and throwing skills in today's PE lesson. Great work Seahorses!!!

Autumnal splatter painting in our wellbeing groups today.

Some of our worry monsters- we choose materials, colours and patterns to represent us.
