Today we opened the caterpillar box, which was a special surprise for all the lovely children in Year R [and the Reception Team too!!!!]

Follow our ‘Daily Diary’ to watch them grow, and become involved in our learning.

We hope that you all have a lovely Easter

ps – we have opened a new page for a collection of ideas of  places to visit with the children.

If you find somewhere that the rest of us might like to try, please leave a comment.

It seems that this is a popular idea!

And thank you for the offers of eggs – it isn’t essential but would be very welcome

Hi, we wondered whether you would enjoy an Easter Egg hunt on Thursday, as part of our Garden Party!

Let us know how you feel about it.

Just a reminder about Thursday!

In case you haven’t read the letter in the message book…..

Reception Story Garden Home Learning

The children have been learning about hot and colourful places around the world and have listened to lots of stories set in bright and exciting places, but now they have decided that our garden looks very dull compared to story settings that they have enjoyed!

So they have made plans of how they want their garden to look and have decided to sow seeds, plant flowers and make things for the garden to make it a more bright and colourful place to play and learn.

We would like to invite you, and your child, to add some colour to our garden to make the area more attractive and colourful.

It could be a plant that you have grown, or an ornament, or a musical instrument, or something to hang on the fence, or some seedlings, or a painted stone or…… whatever your creative ideas produce. It can be as simple or as magnificent as you like!

Your child will be bringing home a picture of his/ her idea, and we hope that you will be able to help them make it a reality in some way.

As with previous Home Learning challenges, we are always available to offer support, if you need it,

and we will encourage the children to consider how practical their plans are!

We will be having a ‘garden party’ on Thursday  March 29th from 2pm til 3pm

to celebrate our new and improved garden and share stories with the children,

so if your contribution can arrive at school by Wednesday March 28th, we will be able to display it.

Have you read The Mixed Up Chameleon?

             Which other colourful books do you love?

A huge thank you to everyone who came to play their  fantastic games. What a wealth of support the children have.

If you were unable to be there, have a look at our photos, and maybe you will be able to join us next time
