We can't believe another half term has come to an end!

This week we have enjoyed learning about the Queen and the special reason for her Platinum Jubilee.  The children have created crowns in the classroom as well as at Forest School to celebrate and have thought about how life has changed over the years since the Queen's coronation.

For RSE week, we have focused on friendship, kindness and family relationships.  The children have shown a great understanding and I have loved hearing their thoughts during whole class discussions.  The importance of their friends and family has been wonderful to hear.  We used the film 'Inside Out' to think about our emotions and times when we have felt joy, sadness, fear, disgust and anger. 

Thank you Caroline for our WOW service on Wednesday.  Caroline had her very own TSP buddies to talk about our school values and Jesus' friendships with his disciples.

There was great excitement on Thursday when three of our butterflies emerged from their cocoons!  They will need to be looked after for a couple of days before we can release them.  They are beautiful and have really captured the imagination of the class.

To finish our half term and to celebrate the jubilee, we enjoyed an afternoon picnic with our buddies.  It has been a while since we were all together and it was the perfect way to end the half term.

Love Reading have issued their Mid-May Newsletter; please see many more top-read recommendations you may wish to explore with your child/ren. Happy reading!

We wish you all a great half term break and look forward to seeing you for our final half term in Reception.
