RECEPTION We had an amazing year in Reception - everything from singing Big Red Combine Harvester in the Harvest Festival Celebration right through to singing the Mini-beast song in our class assembly. Highlights of the year included Reception's wonderful contribution as stable animals in the Nativity, a fantastic trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park and finally the dedication shown by each child to our 30 day Every Child Wild challenge in June. PRE SCHOOL We enjoyed a super theme focussing on 'Our country' and looking into all things British. First starting with Sir George and the Dragon, with a huge role-play castle and banquet full of delicious foods. We also designed our own coat of arms that were displayed in our classroom. We then moved on to 'visiting London' and completed a superb mark making activity where we wrote and posted postcards to our friends. Finally to finish off the theme we created our own Windsor Castle and celebrated the Royal Wedding! We made some very special clay keepsakes to remind us of all the special times we had in Pre- school. "I loved the sticky clay because it was so messy" Seraphina Spedding "Yeah it really was messy! We made the fairy houses and a little spotty vase" Edith Marley "I always made the biggest train track in the classroom!" Hugo Detmarr 3
