Reception have had such a special day today celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee! They came to school wearing red, white and blue, made flags, crowns and even took part in a corgi treasure hunt! This afternoon they sang a song from the 60’s in front of the whole school and enjoyed a picnic and a party. What a brilliant day we have had!

This morning the year 3 school councillors visited the Town Hall for their annual democracy event. The event is designed to explore the ideas that underpin democracy and the democratic process in a fun and creative way.
Initially the children took part in a story-telling session called, ‘Staryland’. The Staryland story describes a magical island far away that, through a particular turn of events, finds itself in need of a new leader. The story asked the children to think about how the islanders could overcome the problem, how a new leader could be found, and what qualities that leader should possess.
After the story-telling session, the children were able to go and sit in the council chambers where they met two possible candidates and listened to their speeches about why they should be voted the next leader of Staryland.
The children then got to cast their votes inside of a polling booth and post them into a ballot box. Whilst the children enjoyed juice and biscuits the votes were counted and the new leader of Staryland was crowned!
Well done to the children who attended the event, their behaviour was exemplary and they were a credit to our school!

Reception have had a brilliant day raising money for Red Nose Day. They got the chance to come to school wearing something red and to buy a red nose and a delicious cake! We talked about how all of the money raised would go to children and families who aren’t as fortunate as we are. Well done Reception!

Reception had some very exciting visitors this morning! Mr and Mrs Foord very kindly brought their 8 chicks into school; the children absolutely loved holding and stroking them. The visit from the chicks was extra special for the children as we are learning all about Easter and signs of new life in Spring.

As part of our ‘Minibeast’ topic we have been learning all about worms! Mrs Tutty very kindly provided lots of worms and compost so that we could build our very own wormery. The children helped to create layers of compost and sand and then picked up the worms and placed them very gently into the wormery.

To start off our minibeast topic, reception have had some very exciting visitors… Guy from Bugs ‘n’ Stuff came into our class and brought with him some MEGA-BEASTS for the children to look at, hear facts about and even touch and hold! We had the chance to touch a snake, a skink, a tarantula, a stick insect, a cockroach and a millipede. We even got to look very closely at a scorpion and some desert beetles. The children (and adults) were so brave and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop!

To celebrate the end of our ‘Around the World’ topic we had our very own Brazilian Carnival! The children designed and made head-dresses, streamers and decorations and enjoyed dancing to samba music in their colourful clothes. They even got the chance to play on some samba drums. It was a fantastic afternoon enjoyed by all!
