Reception – Forest School! – 15.01.2025

15th January 2025Jade Sharrock
Reception had a fab afternoon in the nature garden for their forest school session this week. We have focused on our local environment and how we can make positive changes. We got to work and cleared all of the litter in our garden after discussing the negative impact this can have on our wildlife, as well as making bird feeders to help encourage the birds to visit us in the winter months.
At the end of the session, after lots of requests, we fed the chickens and ducks too! Great work reception, what a jam packed afternoon you had!

Rec – UW – Humpty Dumpty needs help! – 14.1.2025

14th January 2025H Smith

Today Humpty Dumpty needed help from the Reception children. He asked them to explore different materials to create a protective jacket.

We had so much fun wrapping our eggs up to protect them, using our chosen materials.
Our final challenge was to test out our protective jackets . We sang the Nursery Rhyme ‘ Humpty Dumpty ‘and let our eggs fall from  on the wall.

Reception – Winter Wonderland – 13.12.2024

13th December 2024Jade Sharrock

Reception had a magical morning in Winter Wonderland. We started off our journey decorating our own Santa hats and collecting our tickets for the Polar Express.

We then travelled to the forest garden where we were greeted by the train guard who stamped our ticket before we sat around the fire and listened to the story, drinking hot chocolate and eating toasted marshmallow.

After that, we decorated our own bauble and collected our own magical bell from the candy cane forest. We ended our morning with a snowball fight!

Wow! Thank you to all of the parents and carers who joined us for a very festive morning and to the staff who made the magic happen ✨
