Juntos Project

Reception’s Visit to Seaham Beach

The children were an absolute credit to Valley Road on our visit to the beach, lots of other visitors commented on how well behaved they were and how lovely to see them all playing so nicely with each other. Well done!

The children enjoyed building sandcastles, flying kites, playing games and splashing in the water. We finished off our day with a sing song and ice lollies to cool down. What an amazing day!

Sports Day

 We had a great day, taking part in lots of sporting events and races for our sports day. Thank you to all our families that joined us! It was great to see everyone joining in, cheering on their child and others. The children were amazing and showed off how hard they had been practising. Well done everyone, what a fantastic afternoon!

Writing Riddles

We have been learning lots of facts about creatures that live under the sea. We used these facts to write our own riddles. We are so proud of what our reception children can write on their own! Can you guess the creature?

 

Physical Development

This week in reception we have been practising our catching and aiming skills. We carefully the beanbag at each other and then attempted to throw the beanbags at a target.

 

Keeping our Oceans Clean

 We read ‘Somebody Swallowed Stanley’, a story about a plastic bag that ended up in the ocean and how the sea creatures thought he was a jellyfish and tried to eat him! We used our water tray to see what would happen when the ocean is full of litter. The sea creatures had lots of space to swim around but when we added plastic bags, face masks and plastic pots the creatures became stuck in the litter. We talked about how litter ends up in the ocean and what we can do to stop it. We decided to go into our school grounds and remove all the litter that could blow away into the sea.

 

Sea creature trail

We have been reading the book Commotion in the Ocean and learning about creatures that live under the sea. We used this knowledge to complete the sea creature trail, by reading clues and matching them to the creature.
