Reception

This week we have had a wonderful week of fun as we delve deeper into our key text, 'Emmanuels Dream'.

The children have been so inspired by his story and it has been wonderful to see them recreating his cycling route in the construction area of provision.

The children have also been fabulous artists and have been drawing African animals to scale using a range of mediums such as watercolor, pencil and oil pastel. They are phenomenal!

We have also been looking at whole, half and quarter at snack time as we serve our friends and chop up our fruit - delicious!

On Friday, we look forward to celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III with a whole school picnic and wearing red, white and blue. We will also be making royal crowns in provision, so we are dressed for the occasion.

We hope you all have a wonderful long weekend, and we are looking forward to seeing you all next week!

Week 2 started with a mystery....

Year 2 learnt all about the theft of the famous Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from The Louvre Museum in Paris. The portrait is known for the sitter's enigmatic smile and the way that her eyes follow you around the room..! The theft took place in 1911 and Year 2 had an exciting time acting out the various roles in the drama, hot-seating the characters, in order to gather ideas to write a newspaper report of the crime!

Report writing is very hard and we have been working at building stamina for writing- pop in and read our reports!

It has been all about Art this week as we then moved on to learning about Monet and his Impressionistic style of painting. The children painted their own water lily pictures and enjoyed being abstract, rather than realistic.

In maths we have continued our work on money, using the cafes to buy treats and making our own menus.

2P visited the Honeysuckle Choir, as part of our work with Musical Connections and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Next week it is the turn of 2J to bring joy!

As we write this we are getting ready to make our own crowns, in order to celebrate the new King's Coronation on Saturday.

We all wish children and parents a happy, extended weekend!
