Spring Term message from Mrs Mason:
Happy New Year and welcome back to school ready for our 2025 learning. The Early Years team are looking forward to working with the children in Reception class during the spring term. This half term we will be learning under the themes of 'Starry Night' and 'Dinosaurs'. We will be observing and talking about winter. We will encourage children to ask and answer questions about this season. We will be learning about animals that hibernate and animals that are nocturnal. We will be learning about floating and sinking as well as what happens to liquid when it freezes and melts with the season. We will be going on Wellington walk every Wednesday into our Forest School area where we will be building dens, making bird feeders, toasting marshmallows and being imaginative with sticks. January is the Reception Class month for 'litter picking'. We will be helping to make sure our school grounds are safe for the animals and families. Our class Author is Jill Murphy who wrote super stories such as Peace At Last and Whatever Next. If you have any questions at all, please ask and I will do my best to answer asap. Thank you for all your support in advance, Mrs Mason

Who works while we sleep?
Posted: Jan 15, 2025 by: Reception Teacher (C.Mason) on: Reception Blog
We have been learning all about people who work at night (whilst we sleep). We know that our emergency services and other workers need special uniforms and equipment to help them see in the dark. We used torches to see what happens when we shine them on night time police uniforms and motorway maintenance workers.
