Plants and Flowers Exit Point

We have completed our Plants and Flowers unit. For our exit point, Mrs Josephine Lau delivered 30 beautiful, pink roses to our class. We wrote a tag for our flower and took it home for our mums and dads.

International Day Fun!

Today was a celebration of the international aspect of our school. We all came to school dressed in clothes or colours that reflect our home countries. We stood up when Ms Yvette called our country and paraded for our friends and parents. Reception then split into 2 groups to visit 4 different countries. In America, we learned about Thanksgiving and made turkey hats. In Holland, we played a game and painted a plate in the delft colours.

At snack time, we all enjoyed a selection of food from our countries. It was fun tasting food from the various countries. We had chin-chin and puff-puff from Nigeria; vaffels from Norway; sausage rolls from Australia; apple pie from Switzerland; prawn crackers, spring rolls and other treats from Malaysia; chocolate chip cookies from America; stroopwafels and cheese from the Netherlands; samoosas from India; cassava chips and rissoles  from Indonesia and puto from the Philippines.

After snack, we visited Canada where we learned some interesting facts. Finally we went to Nigeria, where we found out more about the naira (Nigerian money), Nigerian clothes and food and the Nigerian flag.

Then we all went to the hall to watch dances and listen to songs from Philippines, Indonesia, Spain, Malaysia, Singapore, India and Japan. Our very own Tenbeats consisting of 9 nationalities, played a song for us and finally Elvira and Joshua spoke to us about what it means to be a global citizen. We had so much fun! Well done to Mr Hennie and all the mums and dads who helped to make International Day such a success.

Happy birthday!

We celebrated our second November birthday today when Arthur turned 5. He brought in a delicious dinosaur cake and some splendid party bags. Thank you!

 



Seeds

We have been learning about plants and their seeds. We know that seeds need water and warmth before they start growing and that plants need soil, water and sunshine to grow. We enjoyed planting our own seeds and are watching them grow. We used bean seeds to create a picture. We made our own books showing the life cycle of a plant. We also made seed packets with seeds to take home.

 

Happy Birthday!

Natalia celebrated her birthday during the half term and brought us these delicious cakes. Thank you!

Spotted at the Duathlon!

 

Many Reception children were up bright and early this Saturday morning to take part in the duathlon. Most of the boys and girls ran 1km and cycled on the beach. Thaneesh amazed us all by running 2km! We all received a medal and enjoyed breakfast at the boat club afterwards. Well done, everyone!
