Reception – Happy Fathers Day!
16.06.23
Some Dads are big Dads and some Dads are small,
some Dads are shorter and some Dads are tall,
Some Dads wear blue jeans and some Dads wear suits,
some Dads wear sneakers and some wear boots.
But this Dad is my Dad from head down to toe
He is really the very best Dad that I know!
Happy Fathers Day!!!
We worked very hard writing very special Father’s day messages and hope that you will enjoy your cards on Sunday. Have a look at what we’ve made…
In Maths this week we were focusing on deepening the children’s understanding of how to compare quantities. The activities we did helped us to check children’s comprehension and provided opportunities for further comparison experiences. We even get to use rekenreks! Exciting times!
In Little Wandle we continued reading longer words and revisiting the tricky words thought so far. Please take time to practice them home as well. These tricky words prove to be very tricky!!! Here are a few examples of the words we’ve read today:
Have a lovely weekend and especially to all the dads, grandads, step dads, uncles, brothers, cousins and friends that step up to show a child what it truly means to be a Father.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY…….
Sketching and Science at Kew
Year 4 had glorious weather for their trip to Kew. The question was, on a day like Thursday, was the weather more tropical in Kew or the rainforest habitat in The Palm House? I was pleased to see the children remembered the geographical knowledge from the last two years, telling Katie – the Kew education leader – about the equator, why countries there were hotter, naming the Amazon Forest and the countries it covers. The children used specialist equipment to measure humidity, soil temperature, soil moisture and air temperature. We then explored The Palm House to find out how animals and plants co-exist in rainforest eco-systems. Can your child tell you some of the examples? The children also enjoyed sketching in the Temperate House – which was cooler than it was outside – and had lovely picnics sitting in the shade on the botannical garden’s beautiful lawns.
The lily pond house was stunning and the children enjoyed seeing, and some sketched, the enormous lilies. Wel also visited the hive which is an amazing structure – a type of pavilion – which “hums” the hotter it is.
A huge thank you to the very kind parents who gave up a day to help out on the trip. These events would not go nearly as well without your support. And apologies for the mix-up about collecting at the end of the day. I didn’t realise adults would wait at the front of the school and then thought we could dismiss children from the car park, but the children went through to the classroom first. Thank you for coming round to the playground where we could see everyone safely to their adults.
After the father’s day assembly, the children will be painting based on what they saw and experienced on Thursday.
Year Two enjoy learning about habitats
As part of our learning in Science and Computing, we had a wonderful trip to RSPB Rye Meads. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves hunting for little creatures in a variety of habitats including ponds, grassland and the woodland floor.
We recorded the information that we collected on the computer and have learned how to present this data in many different ways. We are also creating shoebox habitats that include all the things that an animal needs to survive, such as food, water and shelter. Once again, we have shown just how creative we are! We are looking forward to displaying our habitats for everyone to see at our open evening on Wednesday 28th June (4-5.30 pm).
It was fabulous to see so many dads at our Father’s Day assembly. The children were very enthusiastic about singing their song and even asked to practise on the coach when we travelled to Rye Meads together. The children all have a beautiful card for their fathers in their book bags which they are looking forward to giving them on Sunday. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Year 2 artists
As part of our learning about Butterflies in art, we created some beautiful artwork that shows our skills using watercolour paint. The paintings formed part of our school art exhibition and can be purchased by sending in £7 to the school office.
Here we are showing what superb learners we are as we explored the watercolour paint.
We also took part in an exciting drama workshop this week. We explored the story of Peter Pan and had great fun being characters from this famous story, including pirates, merpeople and Tinklebell!
Reception – Welcome back
09.06.2023
Hello children and parents,
This week we’ve shared lots of exciting half term news, had a very entertaining drama workshop, picked up some radishes and admired an amazing art exhibition. Have a look yourself:
When we came back on a Monday morning we’ve noticed that some of the fruit and vegetables we planted in the Spring term are ready to be picked up. We had lots and lots of radishes and 8 strawberries 🙂
The children were very excited and they all soon disappeared. Let me tell you something… we did well looking them, because they were super delicious! Next on the list are cabbage and carrots.
The art exhibition was a total success! The children were impressed by how talented everyone is! They enjoyed looking for their own painting and finding the right number. Well done everyone!
We’ve had a lovely finish of the week by participating in a very exciting drama class. We joined Peter Pan and went on a very dangerous adventure. We’ve sat on an emotion chair and acted out different emotions. It was super fun:
Things to remember:
Friday 16th June – Fathers day assembly (there will be no reading morning)
Tuesday 27th June – Reception class assembly – 9:05am
Wednesday 28th June – Open evening – 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Have a lovely weekend!
