We have been busy bees in Reception today. Exploring, making new friends and physical fun Friday outside in the sun!
Following on from our work in RE,1 Blue made the most beautiful stained glass window tributes to the Queen.
To mark the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, each class has created different art works to remember her and celebrate her incredible reign. I’m sure you will agree that the pictures have truly captured what a remarkable monarch she was.
We have launched our first theme of the year, which is based all around COMMUNICATION. During assembly the children found out how meerkats communicate with each other. Did you know that they take it in turns to watch out for predators and when everything is ok they make a low constant peeping known as ‘The Watchman’s song’? If a predator is spotted the guard alerts the others with a bark or a whistle.
People have been communicating with each other throughout the whole of human history, but how we communicate with each other has changed massively over the last 30 years.
We are going to be investigating all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of communicating in our new theme.
This week year 4 have completed another ‘Get Ahead’ challenge. They designed group murals based on the theme ‘Conservation’. Well done year 4.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
This morning we have been printing. As part of our Going Wild theme we have been creating our very own animal prints. We have designed, made and printed using different techniques. We used nets to create a reptile skin. Paper to create tiger strips and shaving foam and tiles to print our own creations.
7 Red having a fantastic time making place mats, plates, crowns and even bunting!
Enjoying our Jubilee picnic party…..Even the weather can’t stop the fun!
As part of our theme this half term, ‘Picture Our Planet’, the children have completed their own independent pieces of homework. Well done 4 Blue.
