The Gruffalo

In reception this week we have been doing a story about the Gruffalo. Our favourite part in it was when the owl said to the mouse "where are you going little mouse". The Gruffalo had orange eyes, a green wart at the end of his nose, knobbly knees with turned out toes.

Winnie the Witch

This week in reception we have been looking at a book called Winnie the Witch.

There was a Witch called Winnie. After we read the book called Winnie the Witch, we made Winnie the Witch out of paper materials to decorate it. We liked the Winnie the Witch because she was really nice. She also had a cat. We made the Witch with a broomstick. We had so much fun reading the book.

Winnie the Witch

This week in reception we were looking at a book called 'Winnie the Witch'.

I liked Winnie The Witch because she is a silly witch and she does lots of funny stuff.

After we read about her we made our own Winnie the Witch picture using lots of materials.

Mini Scientists

What a fantastic week we have had. RN have explored, investigated and questioned why and how things work. The children have really enjoyed every bit of science week and so have I.

We explored how and why shadows occur. Then we looked at our shadows and used various play equipments to make shadows too.

The children enjoyed studying our class fish and snails to see the various body parts. They especially enjoyed watching the animals as they ate to find out if they had teeth.


To add to that, we investigated what materials were attracted to magnets. The children were challenged to build a marble run that would make the marble travel the slowest. They liked this alot.



To top all of this off, we were treated to an excellent science show about gravity, magnetism and forces. The children had a blast and two of our reception children offered a helping hand to the show. Well done to the both of them and to all the children for being keen scientists!

RN learns about long and short

In RN, the children enjoyed identifying longer and shorter objects from around the environment. The children were eager to show their understanding of long and short, using cubes, chains and strings to show our understanding of long and short. We enjoyed sharing this learning in Friday's Good works assembly.

Numeracy Lessons

This week in our numeracy lessons we have been focusing on measurement. We have been finding objects that are longer or shorter than our ruler or piece of string and have been comparing them.

Thank you to all who sent in baby and family photographs. Keep sending them in for us to guess who you are! But remember to put your name on the back and put your photograph in an envelope so that is won't get lost.

Next week is science week and our topic is 'Light and Dark'. We are hoping for lots of sun!!!
