The whole class have just completed their first full week of school and celebrated by receiving a certificate each in assembly. They have been exploring their new classroom and outdoor space and learning routines. Staff have been very impressed by how well they have all settled and taken to school life so quickly.
Well done Year R! We welcome a new class of reception children to start their school journey at South Tawton and what a brilliant start they have made so far.
Happy end of the year to this super class! Year R enjoyed their first school sports day on Wednesday. They all took part in every race, cheered each other on and had a great time.
It was the perfect weather on Thursday to release our 5 Painted Lady Butterflies. We have enjoyed watching them grow and change over the weeks and it was super to see them fly around our field.
As usual, there has been so much busy learning in Year R this week. In music, we made our own junk model instruments with Mrs Snell and played them during our music session. Eli brought in his 2 rabbits and Sorrel a toad for some real life show and tells. We have continued our bug learning by making our own bug information books. We were joined by our Year 5 buddies who helped us complete a bug hunt and record our findings. We then rounded off the week by celebrating Rainbow day with the whole school. This week we have been learning about doubling numbers. We have played dice and domino games to help us practise. During our PSED growing and changing focus we talked about how we have changed from being babies. Children then enjoyed looking after babies during Independent learning time. The class also remain very keen to learn more about bugs. We went around the school site, built our own bug houses and even completed a bug treasure hunt.
The children have been very eager to learn more about bugs. We started the week sharing things we knew and those we wanted to find out. We have spent the week investigating and learning new vocabulary. As us about the similarities and differences between butterflies and moths! We have enjoyed a Superhero theme over the last few weeks. This week Evil Pea has been playing tricks on us, but luckily there were plenty of Superheroes in class to defend us.
Here are a few photos from our busy week in Year R. We were pleased to welcome parents in to our class for a 'stay and play' session, another will be on Monday at 2:45pm. I think the grown ups had great fun playing with us! We have been enjoying plenty of stories this week. We were excited to have the Year 3 children visit us to read the stories they had written. We then enjoyed reading our reading books to them. We ended the week by writing our own adventurous ideas inspired by the story 'On the Way Home' by Jill Murphy.
