Easter Cooking in the Nursery, by Mrs Hall
Date: 30th Mar 2018 @ 3:21pm
We enjoyed making chocolate egg nests as a special treat.

Reception Assembly, by Miss Howells
Date: 15th Mar 2018 @ 12:53pm
Over the past few weeks, we have been working really hard on our assembly which was all about how to be kind. We acted out the story of The Little Yellow Chicken, who has some unkind friends and explained that we want to be like the Little Yellow Chicken because she always kind and did things for others. We also showed how we can be a good friend in school situations by saying 'Yes' to helping and sharing. We are very proud of our assembly and will continue to be kind to our friends and family at school and at home.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch us :)
New Life - our chicks hatch!, by Mrs Hall
Date: 8th Mar 2018 @ 10:59pm
Our special delivery of eggs arrived in the EYFS. They were kept in a cosy warm
incubator as mother hen was on the farm.
After waiting patiently, we saw the eggs begin to crack as the chicks were hatching.
At first the chicks were wet but soon dried to a fluffy yellow, then they began to grow
feathers. Each day they ate chick crumb and drank water too.

Growing to be like God, by Miss Howells
Date: 27th Feb 2018 @ 12:28pm
In R.E we are learning how to grow to be like God, linking to our Lenten promises which we made at the end of last term. As this first week in school is our 'smiling week' we have taken pictures of ourselves smiling and glued them onto a plastic cup. We have filled our plastic cup with soil, planted seeds and finally watered them. When our seeds begin to grow, the plants will grow to look like our hair! :)
