If you haven't been already, we highly recommend a day out fossil hunting at Charmouth! The Heritage Centre was incredible! So informative and welcoming - and free! Check out the tide times before you go so that you get the maximum chance of discovering some treasures!
I think these faces say it all...............it was an absolute delight to take Reception to Charmouth!
We were all thoroughly engrossed in mimicking Mary Anning, searching for curiosities and fossils.
It was so exciting to be on our first school trip! We were exemplary role models for the school. The adults that attended the trip were immensely proud of the attitude and behaviour of all children. Every child was keen and enthusiastic to be able to contextualise their learning.
Today we discovered how fossils are formed, we learned about sedimentary rock and how the bones turn to stone under the weight of the years of mud, sand, silt and water building up in layers on top of the skeleton remains.
Our class are completely captured by our humanities and science learning about Pre-Historic Aquatic Marine Reptiles.............but the science doesn't stop there! We are thrilled to be able to announce the upcoming trip to The Thomas Hardye School Science department. Next Tuesday we will be walking there for some hands on science in their lab themed around space!
Don't forget that next Thursday afternoon is our Reception Sports Races in the afternoon and on the Friday afternoon is our Dance Day celebration. For the Friday and our dance, please could your child wear a t-shirt that is the colour of their dinosaur group (they know which one it is!)
Thank you again Reception for, quite simply, one of the best trips I have been on!
Mrs. J, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hibberd and Ms. Dainton - and thank you also to Mr. Bascomb, Mrs. Howell, Darcie and Mr. Spracklen (for his surprise visit!)
