On your marks, get set, GO… for another event filled and exciting week in Reception!
This week began with our annual Gym Jam Jog event and the children had so much fun running as many laps of the field as they could. This was followed by our EYFS sports day in which both Nursery and Reception competed like champions and made all of us feel very proud! These events have helped us to raise money for two very important causes, both of which are very close to our hearts and our community.
Thank you so much for your support.
Fylde Rangers
During the next half term, Reception will be taking part in Ranger activities which will be led by the Fylde Rangers. This is a brilliant opportunity to learn more about the wildlife and habitats in our local area and to explore exciting new skills.
This week, Reception explored local habitats and played some ecology games. We had great fun working in teams to explore our wonderful school gardens in order to see if we could find any bugs and insects hiding in the habitats that we had discussed earlier in the morning. Reception had a great time and there were some brilliant scientific discussions happening.
Each Thursday children can come to school in their PE kits as these is more comfortable and practical for the activities. For safety, hair should be tied up.
Next week, we will be upcycling plastic in order to create recycled bird feeders or planters that help the animals in our local area. Please see the important information section below regarding the recycled plastic that children need to bring in to school on Monday ready for next weeks ranger school!
Thank you!

Enthusiastic Bobby Bee: Kian!
K:ian, it’s always wonderful to see how enthusiastic you are towards your learning. You genuinely enjoy growing your brain and this love of learning will be a fabulous quality for you to hold on to throughout your school journey. During our Summer term, we have been particularly impressed with your enthusiasm towards your reading and writing. You have never been deterred by a tricky task and a challenge has never stopped your proud smile. The progress you have made it amazing and you have inspired us all to try and be as enthusiastic as you! Well done Kian!
Brave Tommy Turtle: Izabelle!
Izabelle, this week you have tried to be a Tommy Turtle during our writing tasks and you have seen how much being brave and having a go has helped you to grow your brain. You have all the knowledge and sounds you need to write your sentences, you just need to remember to believe in yourself; you can achieve so much when you do. Keep it up, well done Izabelle!
Whole School Virtues - Generous and Grateful: Sydney!
Sydney, this week we have seen you showing acts of generosity and gratitude during phonics. You worked so well as a learning partner, being generous towards your partner by helping them to focus and positively encouraging them with their reading. You also spoke about how being a focused learning partner made you feel good because you recognised that you had helped someone else and you said that they had helped you too which showed how grateful you had been for them. This was such a lovely act Sydney and we are really proud of you. Well done Sydney!
Lunch Time Awards:
We also have lunch time certificates which are awarded by the lunch time team to those children who they see being wonderful role models and using marvelous manors:
