Reception Class go to Smithills Farm
What a wonderful day we had at the farm!
I hope your child has told you a little about it.
Here are a few photos for you to look at and discuss together. They will help you to share the memories of our special day at Smithills.
World Book Day in Reception Class
The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their favourite books and wearing their slippers in school to celebrate World Book Day. The author David Webb was in school to tell us some of his stories and share his books with us. The children listened and took part really well.
The Three Little Pigs
In Reception this term we are working on the topic of 'Animals'. We started this topic by reading and role-playing the story of The Three Little Pigs. To help the children with their role-play we have set up a theatre in the classroom where the children have been enjoying acting out the story of…
Strange egg-shaped objects found in the Reception Class outdoor area!
This morning, while outside admiring our new den making area, the children found some very strange egg-shaped objects inside, what appeared to be, a nest!

Fun in the snow
For some of the children in Reception this was their first experience of snow and for others the first experience they will remember. The whole class were very excited about going out to touch the snow and feeling it crunching under their boots. We didn't have long before it started to melt so we…
Merry Christmas from Reception Class!
Just a few photos to show some of the exciting activities from this busy Christmas week. Each child received a reply to the letter they each wrote to Santa. We also enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day, our Christmas party and the whole school Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas everyone!

Outdoor Learning Afternoon in Reception Class
A big thank you to all those parents who supported our outdoor learning afternoon at school today. It was fantastic to see so many parents and children enjoying hunting for minibeasts. That's another thing to tick off your 25 things to do before you are 7 and 3/4 list. Well done…
Reception Class go on a Bear Hunt!
With great excitement Oak Class set off on a 'Bear Hunt' on Monday morning. We encountered squelchy mud, swishy, swashy grass and a swirling, whirling snowstorm before finding a 'real' bear in a cave. The children decided that, rather than run away from the bear, they would make friends with him.…
