Our first week in Year R

The children in Reception have had a fantastic first week at school and have settled in really well, adapting to routines and making new friends. Have a look at what fun they have had.

Year 1- Our first morning of school

Hello year 1 parents! We know you're probably keen to see your children's new classroom and what they've been up to these first 2 days so we'll try and post regularly. Today and tomorrow we will be exploring our new base, reminding ourselves of routines, doing our 'Class Charter' and playing lots of team-building games.

First few days of school in YR

Our new Reception children have just completed their first two weeks of school. They have enjoyed their mornings and lunch times.

They have settled in really well, adapted to our routines, made new friends and have had lots of exciting experiences exploring through play and having fun.

Have a look at what we have done so far!

Playground Committee Test Out Wet Play Games.

After the successful introduction of wet play books, the Playground committee have made it their next task to ensure that every class contains a wet play box that has a variety of entertaining, fun and interesting games. Needless to say our first port of call was to test out and play different games to see what games we would like to have in our wet play boxes.

Take a look at the fun we had:-





Now we have a good idea of the activities we prefer, we have come up with ideas to raise funds and persuade people to part with old board games etc that they might not use any longer. We will keep you posted-so keep watching this space.

Paper and Pen Fun with the Playtime Committee!

Today the playtime committee have been learning lots of different paper and pen games that we can teach our classes to play during wet plays. We had lots of fun playing Twins, Boxes, Character Consequences and making chatterboxes and the great thing is they didn't cost anything! Here are a few pictures:-

We also had a great idea for wet play artwork and will be emailing the office later-we think it will be great for pupils and teachers alike. We will keep you posted. 

First Meeting of the Playtime and Lunchtime Committee.

The playtime and lunchtime committee met for the first time this morning to set our agenda for the year. We looked at what we enjoyed about play times and things we thought we could improve together. We had loads of ideas to make outside break times and wet break times even better. Our ideas included: more seating areas for people to read and be quiet; a book trolley to wheel reading material out for breaks; bins and compost bins on the playground to reduce waste; water fountain for drinks on playground; design and create playground markings for games; more equipment for wet play times. We even had ideas on how to raise funds for any expenses that might be occurred. We are looking forward to achieving the goals we have made.
