Scotland class had a lovely story time with Julie from the Book Nook. She reminded us that she was opening her book shop at parents evening tonight and tomorrow.

In Wales class we have been exploring making pictures with our 2D shapes. We made dinosaurs and even made a person on a skateboard. #billingshurstmaths

For black history month we have read Floella Benjamin’s book about coming to England. We are each making something to brighten up the carnival we are having at the end of the week. #billingshursthistory

It may be raining outside but we are having fun weaving on cooling racks.

Odd socks day in Early Years, the children have been thinking about how to celebrate differences and how to spread kindness!

The children found resources to make a colourful rangoli patterns

Wales class have been enjoying putting natural resources together to create a complete picture of a bear.

This week in maths we have been finding out about the parts of a whole number. In our continuous provision the children have been using the small parts to make the parts of a whole face.

The children have been reading a book about time. Some decided to make watches.

Six today. Happy Birthday Rosie and Fidget.💕

This morning I made a repeating pattern AND I used 3 colours.

Painting houses. “We keep having to get more water because it disappears in the air”

The children noticed that the bulbs were planted a little while ago are growing and that they all look different.

This afternoon we found a different box of construction. Having made a fishing rod this creative young man made himself a fish to catch.

I have made a personal helicopter. “Why is it a personal helicopter?” It’s just for me 🤣🤣

This week we said a sad farewell to Fidget ( Black and Tan) the guinea pig that, with her sister has been a feature of the school for six years. Both arrived a tiny babies and were never happier than when the children were around.

Two girls made a shapes picture. “It’s the time of day when the sun and moon are out at the same time” “it’s at the nearly night time”

We found that making repeating patterns round a shape was fun and a little tricky.

We watched an exciting experiment this afternoon.

The Reception team would like to wish you and your families a peaceful and happy Easter.
