This week in Reception, we had a very exciting and unusual visitor to our classroom! Mr Berridge kindly brought in some frogspawn from his pond, giving us a wonderful opportunity to observe the life cycle of a frog up close. The children were immediately fascinated and full of curiosity. We spent time carefully looking at the frogspawn, talking about what it might grow into and discussing what frogs need to live and grow. The children asked thoughtful questions and shared their ideas, showing great enthusiasm for learning. We also had another exciting experience in our outdoor area this week. Mrs Robinson used her creative skills to construct a fantastic ship using recycled materials. The children watched the building process and were able to see first-hand what can be achieved with imagination, creativity, and practical skills. It was inspiring for them to see how everyday materials can be transformed into something so engaging and fun. This experience has sparked lots of discuss...

Hello all, Today we had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day in Reception. We were very lucky to have a visit from an author who led a whole-school assembly and then came to work with us in a workshop. During the assembly, he read two of his poems to us. One poem was about a whale and the other was about counting birds. The children listened carefully and really enjoyed the funny and imaginative poems. The author complimented our school on the calm atmosphere, which made us feel very proud. The children were also very excited to show off their World Book Day costumes. It was lovely to see so many different book characters in our classroom. Later in the day, we spent time reading and sharing our favourite books together. Ottolie also brought in a homemade book inspired by Oi Cat! . Her book included funny rhymes using the children's names, which made everyone laugh. e.g. Ottolie sits on a broccoli. We worked together to try and think of even more rhymes which was...
