Pirates AHOY

On Friday, Reception and Nursery had a wonderful Pirate Day! We all put on our sailor outfits and took to the seas, uncovering treasure, decoding treasure hunts, rescuing hostages and walking the plank.

We were all so excited to come to school dressed as pirates and we all looked incredible! 

During maths we went on a treasure hunt, counting all the coins we collected and practising our coin recognition. During the day we had treasure hunts to uncover, mysteries to solve and maps to make, helping us find our hostage teddy bears.

We had an absolutely wonderful day, thank you to all the grown-ups who helped us dress up and get into the pirate spirit for the day! 

Shiver me timbers!

Yo ho ho, it's a pirate's life for us! 

Ahoy me hearties, see you next time! 

Ciao for now!

Dear Parents and Carers,

The butterflies have emerged and the children will be releasing them back into the wild so the life cycle can begin again. Pirate day was a great success, thank you for all your efforts with costumes. The children looked fantastic! The day was a busy ones filled with collecting treasure, map making and a treasure hunt to save the kidnapped class bears.

On Wednesday will be going on our school trip. The location has changed to Thorndon Country Park but we will be completing the same activities. Wednesday is looking to be quite a warm day, so please ensure your child is wearing sunscreen and wearing a hat. The children need to be wearing school uniform but may wear trainers if they would like.

This week will be reading Lost and Found. We will be making our own boats and testing these in the water tray as well as finding out where penguins live.

Nursery: Outdoor area open for business!

Nursery children are having a great morning using our own outdoor area today! We have been blowing bubbles, washing dinosaurs and creating giant art pieces. There is still some work to be completed before we have access to the whole space including a mud kitchen and sand area. We think this is a great start and the children are certainly enjoying their new space!

Dear Parents and Carers,

The children listened and behaved beautiful during their author visit with Elieen Brown. They were even lucky enough to hear her newest book, which is not yet published! We have been checking the caterpillars progress daily and the caterpillars have now made their chrysalis. It has been fantastic to see so many children coming down the ramp independently in the mornings, keep it up! If your child is a little unsure, why not walk down with a friend.

This week will be reading a favourite of many, The Gruffalo. We will be making wanted posters for the Gruffalo and creating our own monsters. This Friday is pirate day in early years and we will have a day of pirate themed activities. The children are welcome to dress as a pirate for the day if they wish.

We are very excited about our final trip of the year to Weald Park, where we will become pirates for the day! Please complete the Google form on facebook or the blog. If you are having trouble, please check in with your class teacher. We will also be looking for parent volunteers to help on the trip. Thank you to everyone who has already filled this out and paid via sQuid.

EYFS Pirate Day!

Reception and Nursery will be having a pirate dress up day on Friday 21st June. The children may come to school dressed as a pirate if they would like. No problem if you don’t have a pirate outfit, a striped t-shirt works well. Please leave swords and guns at home as they often get misplaced!
