Science, RE and more in Reception

Recent Posts

We’ve had a very busy, but fun last few weeks in Angelfish and Starfish. The children (and staff!) all enjoyed Science Week where we carried out lots of different experiments with a special focus on gravity to link to the school focus on Space. The highlight of the week was our visit to the Space Dome where we learnt all about being an astronaut and their work on the International Space Station, it was a very exciting experience. We also thought about the qualities and skills you need to be a scientist and we are very lucky that this week one of our parents who is a scientist is coming in to talk to the children about this further.

This week our focus has shifted to RE as we think about the Easter Story. We will be reading a different part of the story every day to help children to develop their understanding of this important Christian celebration. We are also busy learning the songs for our Easter Services at Wormley Free Church on Wednesday 28th March-all parents and carers are welcome to join us for this celebration and if anyone can help with the walk to and from Church, we would be most grateful. Please note service times –

Morning service – Starfish and Morning Nursery

Afternoon Service – Angelfish and Afternoon Nursery

We will be in touch after Easter to rearrange our Stay and Read session after the snow cut short the last one! Please keep sharing books with your child, not just school reading books but anything they show an interest in, it really does make a huge difference to their learning.

Finally a huge thank you for all of the coins that you donated to our NSPCC collection-we managed to spell out the letters NSPCC with all of the coins we collected before we passed them onto the charity.

We wish you all a happy Easter and look forward to the Summer Term.
