Reception have had a lovely day exploring on their Ferry trip! We loved the journey there and back, watching out of the windows and from the top deck. We made our way to the fish quay where we enjoyed exploring like pirates and using compasses to look at directions, we even worked out which way was north, well done! We then thoroughly enjoyed eating our lunch and having a picnic 
Reception have had lots of Bee-bot fun in year 1 this morning for transition! We have been learning all about maps and positional language. Great work Reception 
Reception have finished making their spin drums this week! We thoroughly enjoyed designing and making them 
We have especially loved trying these out and have enjoyed playing along to some music with them 
Miss Marley and Miss Riley think these are fantastic, well done Reception!
Reception are enjoying their music STEM week so far this week! We have been up to lots so far busy testing drum sounds on a cajon drum, exploring sounds around our environment and gathering our resources! We have now completed our ‘think’ and ‘plan’ part of STEM and are moving onto our ‘make’ today…keep your eyes peeled this week for our finished Spin Drums!
Reception are loving their new topic and provision this week linked to our new topic of ‘At the beach’! 
We have had lots of fun exploring shells, seaweed and sea creatures in our investigation area 
and have also loved our new ice cream shop in our role play area!
Reception and year 1 had a brilliant time on Friday afternoon linked to our topics! We had a visit from ‘Crazy Creatures’ and met lots of different exotic animals! We were able to hold and touch them, even put some around our neck and on our heads. This was so exciting and we were super brave, we loved it!
The staff were feeling so brave today🐍.
We had a fabulous afternoon with crazy creatures!
Reception had an interesting afternoon last week! We had a visit from the Openzone to help us with some computing skills. Wow we absolutely LOVED this and were so excited!! We were able to control some ‘Spheros’ which are like robot spheres! We used the iPads to direct and control these and had so much fun 
Reception have had a great day on their trip to The Winter Gardens today! We learned lots of new things about animals in the rainforest and even had a feel of some snake skin! We also measured how long it was, it was 3 and a half children long! We then enjoyed exploring the museum where we had a look at a banana leaf, fed the fish and explored the animal exhibitions! 
Reception had a fab day of Coronation celebrations with their friends from Bede Burn on Friday! We completed lots of crafts this morning and made crowns, we then enjoyed our picnic together and singing this afternoon! 🇬🇧👑
