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.

Reception have enjoyed learning the history behind Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. The children have enjoyed joining in with lots of activities such as learning their birth year, using chop sticks and making lanterns.

We have been exploring the mass of items from around our classroom. The children have been able to explain how they know if an object is heavier or lighter by whether it goes higher or lower on the balance scales. We have also been able to use the star vocabulary: heavy, heavier, light lighter.

Reception have enjoyed visiting the forest for the first time in 2026. The sun was shining and the children explored all of the climbing equipment, built dens and made mud soup. It was lovely to see all of the children cooperating and enjoying the fresh air and nature :)
