On Tuesday morning the children in Reception headed to the Urban Factory to take part in a Gymnastics Festival. The children had a great time balancing on beams, learning how to do forward rolls, climbing and moving around on a variety of apparatus.

Reception have been on a very exciting trip to the Discovery Museum as part of our ‘Toys Through Time’ topic. The children took part in a workshop where they had the opportunity to handle and play with a range of old and new toys. They were then asked to sort them into groups including; old and new, what material they were made from and whether they were dull or colourful. After the workshop the children enjoyed their packed lunches (something they had been talking about for days at school!) On the afternoon the children completed a toy trail around the museum and had great fun in the science exhibition. The children were exceptionally well behaved and represented our school so beautifully.

Yesterday Reception celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as their favourite book characters. We had characters from Winnie the Witch, The Little Mermaid, The Highway Rat and Matilda to name but a few! It was lovely to see the children sharing their favourite books with each other.
