This morning Sunflower performed their wonderful assembly to their parents. Rose and Tulip class were also invited to watch too. The children explained what they have learnt in Reception and how they are ready to move to Year 1 very soon. The children also sang two lovely songs, 'Plant a little seed' to symbolise how much they have grown and 'We are ready for Year 1.' Sunflower class you have shown great confidence and performed such a lovely assembly.
During the Geography lessons, Bluebell have been learning how to make maps of the local area. Today they went on a local walk just outside the school to see what they would need to include. They have put the road names, houses, flats, shops, bus stops and zebra crossings onto their map.
Today James from Transport for London came in to talk to Bluebell Class about how to be safe using public transport. He showed the children how to use maps, how to plan a journey and how to get help if needed. James also showed the children a zip card that can help save money when travelling on public transport.

All the children have really enjoyed taking a book home from the Pop-Up Book shop, which were provided by The Children's Book Project.

We launched our Pop - Up Book shop this week #childrensbookproject -the children loved choosing a book on their way into class this morning. Today it was Rose Class’s turn. Tomorrow is Tulip’s and Friday’s will be Bluebell’s. Sunflower chose on Monday, and Orchid on Tuesday.
Next week the Book shop will be in the playground at lunchtimes for the children to choose another book. Let’s get reading.

In English, Bluebell class have a crime scene to investigate. Victoria, the class teacher created a fictitious crime scene as a wow factor to introduce the new book they will be reading - The Highwayman, to help with the children's inference skills.
Will the children be able to work out what crime has occurred and who has committed it?
Sunflower class have been busy learning about Queen Elizabeth II. The children have enjoyed using role play to act the Queen's Coronation, making castles, flags and crowns. They have also been busy taking part in lots of 'learning through play' activities based about the Queen.
Tulip class had an exciting time visiting the Wonderlab at the Science Museum. They were able to explore lots of different activities involving electricity, states of matter and materials. The children thoroughly enjoyed the slide activity, investigating how different materials can affect the speed at which you travel, due to friction! A great time was had by all.
