This afternoon we found out how and why we need to look after our teeth . We found out how to brush all the different surfaces and got to take a new toothbrush home. We had so much fun. 

This week we have been talking about the jobs farmers do in God’s wonderful world. We have looked closely at fruits and vegetables that grow at this time of year. We predicted what we might see when we cut the squashes open and if the colour on the outside made a difference to the inside.

Today we have had a visit from Tony Peek, a poet. We have listened to lots of amazing poems and we got to dance and sing.

Today we made repeated patterns. We used lots of different fruits to do this, we had so much fun!

After listening to the story of funny bones we had a chat about the skeleton inside us. All children could show me where there was a bone in their body and thanks to the story could find their skull. We will continue to name body parts including wrist, ankle and hips.

Today we talked about our favourite fruit and vegetables. We also found out where they all came from and how they are grown.  Bananas come from Costa Rica.

Every other Wednesday we get to join in with Diddi Dance, we have so much fun. We really enjoy expressing ourselves. 

Thank you to Steve, who came into Reception. He spoke to us about our bodies and how we can stay healthy. We also got a visit from Harold the giraffe.

We have had a lot of fun in the past two weeks exploring our new unit. We have met new children and tried new activities. Nursery parents are very welcome to stay and play for the first 15 minutes of every day.

The children were very excited to dance to their very own Rock band. We joined in with a song all about keeping trying when things get tricky.

Thank you very much for the donation of the very large car mat today. The children all wanted to play on it and worked well negotiating the space with each other.

We all took part in our annual sports morning. The children were fantastic and competed brilliantly. We also saw some pre-schoolers racing and my all time favourite… the Mums/Dads and Grandparents race! 
Well done to Castle Reds who won
