WOW DAY!

Year 5 have had a fantastic wow day today! We all gathered in the hall to find out that we were going to be making bridges, as part of our 'Raging Rivers' topic. We had to use a lot of lollipop sticks in order to build the structure for our bridges. We then sketched out and painted a landscape that included a river to put our bridges on. At lunch time, we gathered materials to put on our landscapes to further enhance the 3D effect. All adults were really impressed with our resilience and determination throughout the day and we all really enjoyed it. We can't wait to take our masterpieces home with us tomorrow!

Ramadan Wow Day

Yesterday we had a lovely day in Nursery learning about Ramadan and Eid. We were very lucky to have two parents and one of our lunchtime supervisors come in to talk to the children about what our Muslim families do during Ramadan and how they celebrate Eid. We learned:

We made it to PARIS!

Recently, the classes in our school have been taking part in a virtual journey called 'Path to Paris'. This is to encourage the children to get active together, try new things and have fun! It uses the Paris 2024 Olympics as inspiration and it is a challenge for children to virtually travel from country to country, ending up in Paris as the final destination. We have been logging all our activities including: PE sessions, dance, tennis, karate, swimming and much more! In Willow Class, we have been that active that we have already made it to Paris! We are now starting again and we are on a mission to complete the circuit a second time!

World Down Syndrome Day 2024

Hello,

On Thursday 21st March 2024, Receotion celebrated world Down syndrome day. We all wore bright socks and took part in different activities.

In the morning we listened to a story by George Webster. Lots of the children recognised him from CBeebies. We discussed what children and adults with Down syndrome can do... we know that they can do everything! It just might take them a little bit longer to learn how.

Amazing Australian Morning

Elder Class had a fabulous morning thinking about Australia and all the things we had learned this half term. Our adults came in and helped us make some Australian Art and some split pin Australin animals. Then we visited Reception to help us think about different animal habitats and finally we made some boomerangs and didgeridoos.

Our Amazing Australian Activity Morning

In year 2, our parents joined us to take part in an 'Amazing Australian Activity' WOW morning. We used spilt pins to create Australian animals, we made Australian paintings and decorated boomerangs. Afterwards, we continued being creative and made didgeridoos in class. We had the best morning!
