#inspiredtolearn in Reception!!!!!!!!!!!

I could bombard you with millions of photos of our learning..........here are just a few from this week!

Thursday afternoons is "Bikes and Balls"  - we love to get active!

Drama with Teach Rex..........

We felt passionately about Thomas the Gorilla and his plight.............we drew some detailed pencil portraits of gorillas and also shared all our ideas about how we could save Thomas' habitat!

Henry told Thomas he loved him and thought he was brave, then gave him a great big hug!!!!!!!!

We love to share our hiome learning with the class - well done Sam!

George practising balancing and SUP Boarding skills!

Exploring power maths - language of measure at it's best!

Science with our Year 4 buddies! 

Have a super and safe half term break! FYI, as you can appreciate, reading books may not have come home yesterday as we were only made aware about the school closure late afternoon! Enjoy sharing stories and building vocabulary as well as Fred talking or writing words for your child to read - maybe make your own book together!!!!!!!

I loved seeing and hearing you all on the story time assembly today - great Reception attendance!!!!!!!!!

Reception updates - please read and share.

 Good Morning!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Royal Banquet to mark the end of our topic! Remember that children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from our topic - Kings, Queens, Prince's, Princesses, Knights, Maidens..................

The banquet is very much "snack/treat" based as they will be having their normal lunch!

Next half term we will be basing our learning around food, gardening and healthy living, so feel free to begin to explore this as a half term home learning project and send in any photos!

Return to school Tuesday 1st March and World Book Day Thursday 3rd March. Friday 4th March we are visiting the Planetarium at school. On Tuesday 8th March we will be visiting the Corn Exchange and the Mars installation. WE WOULD ASK THAT RECEPTION ARE DROPPED OFF AT THE CORN EXCHANGE FOR 9AM. This is advance warning so that you may like to arrange lifts between you. We will be walking back to school afterwards in time for lunch!

Originally, we were due to do our class assembly on Friday the 4th March, however due to the Planetarium we will be moving this date to Friday 18th March.

Many thanks,

Reception Team.
