Shake up your Wake up !

Reception and Year One had a fabulous time at our Lighthouse Keepers Breakfast Birthday Party. We ate a wonderful 3 fruit salad and some lovely tasting yoghurt. All the Pirates...... I mean children agreed it had made a scrumptious Breakfast feast !

 

First we shared the story ! We love the swashbuckling Mr and Mrs Grinling. 

Afterwards, we made Mrs Hawkins walk the plank whilst Mrs Beard and her fellow Pirates made a perfect Pirate ship.

Rise and Shine

The Children have created their own invites and Year 2 created a wonderful breakfast shaped poem !

Because.........

On Thursday Afternoon Reception and Year 1 will be joining up together to celebrate Farmhouse Breakfast Week. The aim of this session is to help children understand that Breakfast is an important meal that should be eaten every day and include food and drink. It helps our bodies to wake up and work properly so we can think, play and learn. We must have something to eat and drink for breakfast every day.

We have chosen The Lighthouse Keepers Breakfast as a starting point. Within the story Mr Grinling discovers the lighthouse is 200 years old and decides to throw a Birthday Breakfast for the town.

Mr Grinling's theme is Pirates. Mrs Hawkins and I have decided that to get into the Pirate Spirit the children can bring pirate fancy dress to put on in the afternoon. This might be red and white stripes , bandanas or parrots to put on our shoulders “oooh arrrgh me hearties”. After all, Pirates need a hearty breakfast to start the day.

Our QR Tree is finally Finished !

Do you have a Barcode Scanner on your smart phone ?

 

The Children work their socks off all week at home and at school. So we can celebrate our learning Mrs Beard has created a one stop poster that you can scan and have a sneak peek into a day in our class. Mrs Beard will update the QR code tree so you can scan whilst your waiting for your children to come out to the gate.

 

 

What are QR Codes?

 

Our QR codes take you straight to our fabulous blog .

QR codes can contain all your important information in one small image that can be scanned by most smart phones/tablets. With QR codes we are able to instantly view and save information.

Home School Diary Task

What a great start to our collection of photos !

 

 

        

 

This week’s Home School Diary Task was to find a photo of your child's Christening, Baptism, Naming day or Newborn photo.

The children loved guessing which picture belonged to each of their friends.Although it was alittle easier to guess the boys in the class as we have a small number :-) .

 

In class we will use the photos to see how we grow and how our families celebrate special occasions.

The photos can of course be emailed to me to print off.

The children have created some beautiful paintings for our Then and Now theme; adding details as minute as eyelashes

 

 

Well done reception !
