Spring Term message from Mrs Mason: 

 The Early Years team hope you have had a wonderful and fun-filled Easter break.  We are looking forward to working with the children in Reception class during the Summer term. This half term we will be learning under the themes of 'Build It Up' and 'Big Wide World'.  We will be observing and talking about the changes from Spring to Summer. We will be going on Wellington walk every Wednesday into our Forest School area where we will be making insect homes using a 'bit and brace'.  In May we will be learning to ride our bicycles with Go Velo.  We will also be visiting Park View 4 U on our school trip and visiting the residents at Porritt House to share stories and play.  Our class Author is Lauren Child.  who wrote super stories such as  I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato and lots of other Charlie and Lola books.  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

We have been learning all about farming and looking closely at tractors. The children chose a construction kit and built their own tractor. The children made a plan before they started and talked about the changes they would make to their model to improve it! Fantastic Farming Reception! :-)
