Reception – Pentecost Party

26.05.23

Hello parents and children,

And just like that it’s the end of another half term. We took part in a historical event, the Coronation of King Charles III, we’ve been busy building a castle, we watched how the caterpillars are turning into butterflies, we grew delicious vegetables from seeds, we had a special Pentecost party, we celebrated Mary and made a beautiful poster, we created amazing bubble paint pictures for the exhibition that will take place in the first week back. We also learned how to read new tricky words and words that finish with -ing , -est  and -ed, together with longer words. In Maths we were thinking about number bonds to 10 and were busy exploring the 10 frame.

What a lovely start of the week the children have had. Lots of fun  jumping, of course, exploring the big slide, obstacle course and jumping castle. Thank you everyone for your donations!

Pentecost Party
It is so lovely to see all of you supporting us and joining in for special events and celebrations. As always you were so generous and the children had an amazing time enjoying eating red food, blowing bubbles, playing with streamers and windmills. We were very excited to perform for you and if you want to have a go one more time here is the link for our Pentecost song:

Art week What a creative week we’ve had. The children learned a new painting technique – Bubble painting. We mixed some paint, water and washing liquid and blew very hard. The result is amazing and we can’t wait to show you our work.

Little Wandle
In Little Wandle this week,  we’ve learned the last 2 tricky words for Reception class.

We also practiced reading words that finish with – est  and -ed, like strongest, freshest, helped and blinked. When we come back we will have our assessment week, so please keep an eye for any materials that your child might need help with.

Butterflies in the prayer garden
And what a better end to a fun filled week, but releasing the butterflies. All five caterpillars turned into chrysalis, and from all five chrysalis emerged five healthy butterflies. The butterflies were so ready to fly away and start enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather.

Have a wonderful half term week!
Looking forward seeing you all next week 🙂
