Reception - STEM week

Hello everyone,

Firstly, we apologise for not sending home the Father's Day cards on Friday! A total oversight on our behalf! Apologies and we hope you all got them this evening!
This week we are having a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). We had out some rather different activities for you all to try this morning. We have a few engineering activities that have a building element as well as some maths based surveying of the class! We will also be squeezing in some science experiments and exploration as well as seeing some of the genius ways technology can be used. 
We have a lot to get in to this week: Tomorrow we will be having a joint morning with year 2. So we will split in half and carry out activities in each classroom! On Thursday parents are welcome to come in in the afternoon to see what we have been up to as well as participate in some STEM activities themselves. On this note, if you are a parent that works in a field with some element of STEM, we would love to hear from you! If you want to come in and explain what you do for a job or show us some pictures... I'm sure the children would love it! Please let us know if you are interested. Finally, on Friday we are going to be going up to Thomas Hardye School to participate in a science enrichment program! This has been a highly enjoyable trip in the past. It is only an hour and children will be back in school for lunch.
As well as this, On Friday we have our class assembly! We have sent home your child's assembly line today for you to practise at home! We are not using a microphone for this assembly so the more confident and loud the voice, the better! Thank you.
