Today we had our Spring 2 stay and play session. Many of our grownups came into the classroom and saw what Exceptional Learners we are! We had; cress seed planting, fork tulips, a phonics hunt and daffodil painting as well as many other areas of provision to engage with. We love having our grown ups in the classroom!

Buddies from class 5 came to help us with our rainbow challenges and interact in the areas of provision. They showed us how to form our letters correctly, create wonderful structures in the small world and even helped us with our water colour painting.
We love to build relationships across our school!

Today in Reception we were joined by the 'my dentist' campaign. They spoke with the children about how they can keep their teeth healthy. The children loved taking part in many different activities and all loved showing off their teeth after they had brushed them.

Parent's joined us for our first stay and play session of the academic year. We enjoyed showing our grown ups both the indoor and outdoor environments. We had lots of wonderful, Christmas themed activities to share with them.
We finished the session by enjoying a Christmas story in the hall. We even had hot chocolate and biscuits!

This week the school nursing team came in to show us how to wash our hands correctly. We learnt about how bugs and germs can affect our bodies and how we can wash our hands properly to get rid of them. We put some special gel on our hands, then washed our hands and used a special light to highlight any 'germs' that were still present.

Today as part of our settling into Reception we had a walk around the school environment. We were very excited to explore the outdoor environment, library and met more of the grown ups who are in school.
