In the Reception class the day is divided into two halves.
In the mornings, children develop their skills in reading, writing and mathematics. They make frequent visits to the library, cookery room, computer suite and garden.
Afternoons are for hands-on activities: science, art and craft and construction.

Recently, Reception and Nursery decided on names for the felt glove puppets they had made - Purple Bear, Yellow Bird, Pet Dog, Grandfather and Wolf. We also wrote a play together and acted it out for Years 1&2. We also told them all about our "Peter and the Wolf" collage and showed it to them.
In return Years 1&2 showed us their puppets - a pirate and a Ninja turtle - to name but two! Years 1&2 also entertained us with a wonderful Easter dance they had made up in four beat time to some lovely country style music. It was a celebration of resurrection - full of life and happiness.

Reception Bird Experience Day. |
|
|
|
|
Reception have been learning about birds recently and were fortunate to be visited by some really interesting ones this week.
Firstly Delilah, the Harris Hawk, visited our classroom. We learned lots of interesting information about her and were even able to stroke her beautiful feathers. Her owner left some pellets that we were able to examine. Just like real scientists, we posed the question of what she eats and experimented with taking the pellets apart to answer our question.We found feathers,fur,bone and possibly claws and beaks.We then recorded our findings in our books about her.
In the afternoon Mr. Harley visited us with two cockatiels. A male who we named Ollie and a female who we named Emily.He showed us how to prepare the nest box as they will probably soon be laying eggs. We asked lots of questions and were interested in the answers.We were fascinated to see how attached they are to each other and how upset they became when one was taken a few metres from the cage. Again, we were able to tickle their necks and Emily enjoyed nibbling William's tracksuit top zip and Mrs. Clothier's earring.
Here are the photographs :-
