Reception F had a wonderful time on our trip to the Sealife Centre. We walked through the 360 degree tunnel and saw sharks and stingrays swimming above us. We saw Mo the 50 year old turtle who was enormous. We watched the penguins get fed and jump into the water and we saw the otters doing somersaults. We loved seeing different varieties of fish, seahorses and jellyfish. Some children shared their favourite moments with us: “I loved seeing the tiger shark. It had spots.” “It

The children in Reception had the most wonderful day in their new Year 1 classes. They were absolutely awesome and left us feeling very proud of each and everyone of them. We are so excited for the them to join us.

Reception have enjoyed both indoor and outdoor learning this week. We have been learning about seasides, pirates and boats. Children had the opportunity to build their own boats using junk modelling and construction resources; they then tested their boats in the water trays. It was interesting to hear the children investigate floating and sinking and conversations even turned to the Titanic. We stayed safe in the sun by wearing our sun cream, sun hats, playing in the shade an

Reception F thoroughly enjoyed sports day. The children participated in an obstacle course, quoit throw and a sprint. Each child was placed in a colour team and we all cheered for each other. The weather was kind and it was a lovely afternoon all round. Thank you to the parents that came to support this event!

Reception MP enjoyed a visit from the Ambulance service this week. They enjoyed listening to what the job role is, what the uniform looks like and how they help people. Thank you to the ladies for a lovely afternoon!

This afternoon we had a visit from the Ambulance Service where the children learned about the job role, the uniform and how and why we might phone 999 in an emergency. The children were taught how to give chest compressions on a resuscitation doll using the correct hand movements. The children listened so well and were very engaged. What a lovely afternoon :)

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Wednesfield Rotary Club for their generous donation of books to our EYFS classrooms and our new shelf for our Books4Home set up! Their support is already making a real difference, with our after-school Books4Home library proving to be a fantastic success today! It has been wonderful to see pupils enjoying access to new books and developing a love of reading beyond the classroom. If you see our Books4Home Library outside Nurse

Today we had the lovely treat of an ice cream van visiting school to celebrate the hard work of all the children, in particular the Year children completing their SATs 6. We very much enjoyed the treat and luckily the sun was out long enough for us to enjoy them outdoors :)

Reception MP were grateful to enjoy an ice-cream together today! Yum yum

Reception F loved having a music session with Mr Wilcox. We warmed up our voices, sang a range of different songs and even learned a dance too. The children enjoyed learning the mini sequence and performed it at the end of the session.

Reception have been fortunate enough to participate in Balanceability with Mr Hudson. Here Reception F are on their second session and are thoroughly enjoying it. They will be improving their coordination and balance skills alongside learning about road safety. The children are excited for the remainder of their sessions this summer.

Reception F were very excited to have a visit from PC Emma Dimmock. This links into our current topic ‘People who help us’. PC Emma Dimmock told us all about her job role, showed us all of the equipment that she uses and even let us try some of her uniform on :) the children had lots of opportunities to comment and ask questions and some of the children said they would like to become a police officer when they are grown up.

Reception have been reading Zog and the Flying Doctors and discovered how Princess Pearl had cured her uncle of Orange Fever. This morning we had a letter from Princess Pearl who is now poorly herself with Yellow Fever. She asked us to search our forest for five particular ingredients for her potion and we managed to find them :) We hope that she feels better soon.

Reception children joined the Severn Trent Water assembly today where we learned about the importance of water, the journey of water and even a look at the water cycle. They enjoyed meeting Robbie the raindrop and learned of ways we can save water. There were lots of games involved which made the learning fun.

The children have had a lovely day for World Book Day! Thank you to all of the parents, carers and Miss Gabri who have come to share a story.

Another successful read with parents session :) We would love to see more parents come every Tuesday 2:55pm - 3:15pm. It is a lovely opportunity to listen to your child read and share lovely stories.

This afternoon, the children in Reception MP enjoyed their first Now Press Play experience. They used the headphones to listen to a minibeast experience, this included going on a minibeast hunt. They counted the spots on a ladybird, shrunk themselves down to the size of a snail and counted how many legs a spider has. The children had lots of fun!

Reception enjoyed exploring the forest and searching for minibeasts. We have been learning about a range of minibeasts this week, their life cycles, what they like to eat and where they like to hide. Some children had magnifying glasses and others had clipboards to record their findings. After looking on leaves and under logs we found woodlice, worms and slugs :)

Thank you to our parents and carers for your fantastic support during our termly book fairs. Your contributions have helped us raise funds which we have used to purchase a wonderful selection of new books to enhance our reading shelves throughout school.
