If you’re happy and you know it…!

I think this video sums our week in Reception beautifully. I’m going to let the pictures do the talking but our highlights this week have included…

On Monday we enjoyed sharing lots of exciting weekend news with our groups.

On Tuesday we did some floating and sinking experiments and learnt a new game ‘Captain’s coming’.

On Wednesday we went to Church for the first time as a whole school, thank you for all our volunteer walkers. We also learnt all about Jesus’ disciple Peter and the important news he was sharing after Jesus went to heaven.

On Thursday we were thinking about the primary colours, mixing them on our hands to make new colours, we created pictures in our house teams. We also did some amazing pictures and writing in RE about our trip to Church.

On Friday we got into singing to our plants to help them grow. Our sunflowers and beans are amazing, have a look if you walk past our garden. We weeded and then planted some colourful plants to create a dinosaur small world . Finally we finished off our Friday with Wimbledon fever! Watching Heather Watson win this afternoon inspired us to play some balloon tennis after a nail biting few doubles games. The Blue and Yellow teams shared the win, both gaining 47 points.

What a week…I don’t know how we have fit it all in!
