Exciting day!

Today has been an exciting day in Reception. The first of our ducklings has hatched!

Reports have also gone home today. This term there is a parent's evening on Thursday primarily to meet your new teacher. There are no appointments for this, just drop in and introduce yourself!

This Week

This week we are learning about the Netherlands and have a big focus on Vincent Van Gogh. Below if an excellent animation of his 'Starry Starry Night' picture. We have shown it to the children today but thought parents would like to see it. It is an great prompt for discussions about painting techniques.

We have been doing our own Starry night pictures in class too!

Egyptian day

We have had a fantastic day filled with Egyptian themed crafts, Egyptian dancing and  food tasting.

All the costumes looked amazing, we hope your children enjoyed the day

Egypt!

Dear Parents and Carers,






This week we are learning all about Egypt - both ancient and modern. The weather is helping us to set the scene! Tomorrow we will be having lots of wet play in the outdoor area. You may want to send your child in with a towel or a change of clothes! As always, please ensure they have hats and sun cream applied

On Thursday we will be having an Egyptian Day! Children and adults are invited to dress up as an Ancient Egyptian God or Pharaoh.

As in the picture above, a simple black or white outfit would be fine as we are making lots of wearable craft such as the necklace and headpiece at school.

If you have any empty toilet rolls at home these would be useful too!

Our Forest School Day

We had an amazing day today! So many amazing moments, I've just uploaded all out photos to one album here. 

Not edited at all I'm afraid but hope you get a flavour of the day!

Cake sale and Trip

Just a reminder to please come and buy some cakes, drinks and ice cream from your children at 2pm on Thursday! They will have made most things themselves and will be responsible for taking the money!

Also a reminder about our trip on Friday. School uniform is needed although sensible shoes for the common are allowed. We have asked you to bring your child to Tooting Common car park fro 9.15. It is marked here on the map.

Tooting Common car park

This week has started well!

We have had a great start to our week on France today!

Both classes have had a travel agent in their role play area and we have been building famous french landmarks!

Also today we had duck eggs arrive! There are 6 being incubated so we will see how many will hatch! The farm also gave us a talk about which animals lag eggs and we all touched the baby chicks they brought.

Finally both classes had P.E and as well as our usual 'Teddy Tennis' session we also practised an obstacle course for sports day!
