Reception and Nursery had a lovely day today celebrating the platinum Jubilee. We played games and completed lots of different crafts. We then ended the day with a party outdoors with jelly and ice cream.

Reception have been exploring different occupations. We have been role playing in our Police Station. The children were very excited to investigate a robbery from the shed. After taking finger prints we found the thief!
In Mathematics we have been exploring numbers beyond 10 in a variety of different ways.
Reception helped Mrs Jilks practise for her Memory walk for the Alzheimer’s Charity. We chose this worthy cause for our class fund raiser. Thank you for all your donations we managed to raise over £400 pounds!
Reception have had a fun day conducting some amazing experiments. Some of the things we made were rainbows, volcanoes, invisible ink messages, dancing pictures and planted seeds. Below are some photographs from the day.
We explored the Sacrament of Baptism and role played the different roles and parts of the service. We ended the week with a picnic with our traditional tale toys and had our faces painted to match!
We also did lots of Mathematics, exploring height, time and the composition of 6,7 and 8.
We have been consolidating our Mathematic skills in a variety of different ways. We read the Three Billy Goats Gruff and then thought about how the goats could cross the river if they couldn’t use the bridge. We made boats using plasticine, changing the properties of the plasticine to make it float and also made planes to fly them across! We made gliders we that we bought and made our own from paper. We flew the planes to see how far they would fly, our paper made planes went as far as the others. In RE we listened to the story of The Feeding of The Five Thousand. We acted the story out and realised how special Jesus making the food feed everyone. This story showed us how he loves and cares for us all.
In Reception we used the characters in the Traditional Tales stories to help us understand what we should do to keep safe online. We talked about how we should not go off with anyone we do not know and if we get any funny messages or pictures on our tablets we should let an adult know.
We all cut out a jigsaw to remind us how to keep safe.
We have been very busy this week. We have visited the Church and found out about the role of Father Paul, talked about the Church and wrote a prayer together.
We read Goldilocks and Three Bears and completed lots of activities around this. We wrote the recipe for porridge and we tasted porridge and made a graph of our favourite. We made puppets to use to retell the story.
We have also been looking at addition and making number sentences.
