Special visitors!

On Monday 15th April, we will be welcoming some special visitors to Reception for two weeks. As part of our, ‘Animal Magic’ topic this half term, we will be taking part in the Living Eggs hatching programme! This will give the children the opportunity to learn about the life cycle of chickens, alongside other animals. This will be a very hands on experience and the children will be involved in caring for the chicks.

We have chosen Living Eggs as they are an ethical hatching programme. At the end of the two weeks, they are committed to rehoming the chicks with local farmers, allotment owners and hobbyists.

Keep an eye on the website for ‘Chick watch’ and we hope you enjoy listening to the experiences that your children have had during these amazing two weeks.

NSPCC Pants

The children in reception have been learning all about the ‘PANTS’ rules. We watched a story about Pantasaurus and listened to the Pants song. The children have learnt that:

P- pants are private.

A- always remember your body belongs to you.

N- no means no.

T- talk about secrets that upset you.

S- speak up, someone can help you.

If you would like to watch the videos again with your children please follow the links below!

Bean seed experiment

Today we started our bean seed experiment. We followed the instructions and made a prediction about what we thought would happen. We put one bean in a bag with a wet paper towel and one in a bag without a wet paper towel. We then taped it to the classroom window. We are all excited to see what will happen to the bean seeds. Maybe they will turn into our own beanstalk!

Lunar New Year

As part of our learning about Lunar New Year, we made and tried a vegetable stir fry. The children helped us to follow the instructions and listened carefully to the sounds the ingredients made as they were added to the pan. The children then took a visit to the Apley Wood Chinese restaurant where they tried the stir fry that we made along with prawn crackers on the side.
