OBON
Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog
Here are a selection of photos that were taken on OBON day that we celebrated in school on Friday.
We had a lovely packed lunch with the rest of school.
We watched Nursery singing their song before showing the rest of school our portraits and singing our song.
We then joined the rest of school to sing the OBON song.
Before and after the celebration we did some lovely activities inside. We decorated our hands for a whole school project as well as making bunting, paper chains, flags and other British colouring. We hope the children had a really lovely day. It was lovely to see them on the playground with the rest of the school even if it was socially distanced.
Fruit tasting.

Last week as part of our Handa's surprise story and our literacy lesson we looked at lots of fruit that feature in the story.
We chopped the fruit up for the children to try.
We all did amazing at trying them. Ask your child which their favourite ones were?

Summer Term 2 week 3
Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog
This week in reception we are looking at the story of Handa's surprise and recalling and rewriting it.
In maths we are continuing our number work looking at 17 and 18.
We have continued with continuous provision and letting the children build up their relationships with each other.
On Friday we are having our OBON day, so we are preparing our portraits of our selves but also learning our songs.
Our class song is ' You got a friend in me'. if you could help your child learn this it would be helpful. The toy story version is ok. You may also have heard them sing 'we are Britain', we are just learning the chorus for this so I think they may have mastered this. Here are a few of the other activities set out in provision this week.
We have also introduced an incentive to get our children reading, when they reach the top, they then achieve a treat. We have a beanstalk tree in Miss Turners classroom and a seaside theme tower in Mrs Smarts.
Thanks to all for the lovely pictures of the children planting their sunflowers at the big plant out event.
summer Term 2 week 2

Apologies for the late post but we have been super busy in Reception doing lots of lovely exciting things.
We have been for a walk around our local area. We have looked at all the various buildings we have. We spotted quite a few places we visit. We also looked at the different type of houses that there is.
We talked about what things we need in our village, the buses to take us places, post box to send letters, dustbins to keep the place tidy.
We will be using some of these pictures to compare to a village in Africa, describing what things are the same and what are different!
Ask your child what they remember seeing on their walk.
Last week of this half term
Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog
Wow what a half term that has been.
This last week we have been learning about Vincent Van Gogh. The children have enjoyed listening to story about part of his life.
We also looked at the history of Vincent.
We have looked at the pictures he has painted and talked about which is our favourite. The children then went and had a go at doing their own. Well done to Seth who is doing some home learning for his interpretation of the sunflowers.
We then have planted some sun flowers for the Morley Art Gallery Sunflower project. The Big Plant Out is on June 19th. We hope to also have enough to be able to plant around the school grounds.
Hope you have a fun half term and can do something a little more normal!!

Our New Classrooms

As some children are preparing to go back to school, we would like to share with you what our classrooms look like this week. So you can see the kind of activities the children will be accessing. So here are some photos of our 2 bubble rooms for our first groups of children. All equipment will be washed and a detailed Risk Assessment is in place to make it as safe as possible.
