Reception children were shocked to find a very large egg in their sandpit this afternoon. We had lots of suggestions about where it could have come from and what it might be…we’ll keep you posted!

The children were very excited to check the egg this morning and even more pleased to see that it had hatched!

Inside was a little pterodactyl! Some children weren’t quite sure whether it was real or not, especially when Mrs York pretended that it was wriggling when she tried to pick it up.

Lots of children knew that it couldn’t be real as dinosaurs are extinct. We had some lovely conversations about what that word means and lots of information about the children’s favourite dinosaur.

What a fantastic start to our new topic! The children are all really keen to try some exciting dinosaur activities this week.

What a busy week! Reception have been learning all about people who help us and how to keep healthy and safe.

Today we celebrated Chalky the church mouse’s 5^th Birthday. The children made a list of jobs that needed to be done to prepare for the party:

wrap presents

make birthday cards/banners

make party food

We had a wonderful time playing traditional party games like pass the parcel and musical chairs.

WOW…what an amazing Nativity!

The children told the story of the first Christmas through the eyes of the animals that Jesus shared a barn with.

We had a wonderful time welcoming our new families to Church of the Ascension Primary School. Father Chris led the service and talked about the children being ‘the light of the future’. Accompanied by their grown up, the children were invited to receive a gift, light a candle and hang a portrait on a special tree. This will remain in church as a reminder for the congregation to hold the children in their thoughts and prayers.
