Another busy and exciting week in reception. We have tried lots of different foods that we can grow and voted for our favorites. We are excited to start growing our own food in school. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break over the next 2 weeks.
We had a very busy week last week in Reception. We really enjoyed sports day and want to say Thank You to Mr Seddon. This week we have planted sunflower seeds in the Poly Tunnel. We will continue to look after them and watch them grow. We enjoy observing how the plants are changing and growing in the poly tunnel.
Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at Liverpool and different countries around the world so this week in RM we had an international food day. The children enjoyed tasting a different variety of foods. We then arranged ourselves into groups of our favourite foods. Polish - 9 children, Chinese - 12, French- 6 and English 2. Also well done to the children who received their bronze awards this week.
This week continued to be Pirate week. We also had a pirate dress up day with pizza and pineapple. The children have had lots of fun and lots of learning experiences. Thank You to the parents for dressing your children up and taking part.

Last Friday in RM Lewis brought his mini beast collection to school. All the children investigated the bugs and we even went on a mini beast hunt outside. Spring has started and RM have had 'green fingers'. We have planted a variety of seeds, so keep an eye on our patches in the next coming weeks. We have also celebrated St.Patrick's Day this week. We arrived to school on Thursday to find a pot of gold. We looked at pictures of Ireland, watched videos of Irish sport, music and dancing. The children enjoyed the dancing most and have even tried themselves. We are learning to say hello in Irish, "Dia Dhuit"
The children and staff have been very busy planting lots of new flowers and bulbs in the containers . Inside of the unit we have planted strawberries and tomatoes and hope to transfer them soon to the recently purchased poly tunnel.

Thank You to all the Parents for taking part and dressing the children up, we had a great day.
