Reception - Summer 2 - Week 5
Date: 7th Jul 2022 @ 7:52pm
We can’t believe that we are approaching our final week in Reception.
We have seen some fantastic writing from the children this week as they describe themselves as Superheroes. They have had some fantastic ideas and designed some wonderful costumes. Yet again we have been blown away by their independence when writing – what a class of superstars!
We loved our music session with Music in Unison on Tuesday. The children are developing a great sense of rhythm and have made so much progress over the weeks. Thank you so much Tara, we are so lucky to have these times with you.
The children have been fascinated by the sycamore seed helicopters which have been landing in our outdoor area. They have spent time exploring how they fly and have then chose to collect them, along with other leaves, seeds and twigs to create some fantastic nature art work. What a great idea!
We have spent a lot of time with our buddies this week, reading and reflecting on the past year. We even played some games in the hall together. It was lovely to see the relationships the children have with their buddies and how this has grown over the year. We had a little peep at the Year 6 end of year performance rehearsal – we felt so proud of our buddies and can’t wait to watch a final rehearsal next week.
Each year, there is a summer reading challenge for the children to join either at the local library or online. We encourage all our pupils to take part if possible so they can continue to enjoy their love of reading over the summer and earn rewards as they complete the challenge. Children who complete the challenge receive certificates from the library which are presented in school when they return in September.
National Book Tokens are running a competition where the lucky winner will win £1000 of book tokens for their chosen school and £100 book vouchers for themselves! Please click the link below to quickly enter and nominate our school for the win! Thank you!

We wish you all a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing the children on Monday for their final week in Reception.
