Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you so much for the wonderful Superhero video you sent,
it really did make us smile.
It looked so much fun! I know that Miss Centi shed some tears, as I did too!
Happy tears of course!
We are super proud of all our Reception children, working so hard at home,
showing us what an amazing community you are as a class.
We miss each and everyone of you and it's lovely to see what everyone's been up to at home. Keep the photographs coming or send us a letter again soon. A huge thank you to our wonderful parent governor for creating the fantastic memory that we will always cherish.

Easter activities
We hope you are enjoying your Easter break and having lots of fun with your family! Below you will find more ideas for some challenges, activities and games!
Read 1 book a day (Or more!)
You could try reading it in a new place each day!
Make a den! Make sure you ask your grown ups what you can use to make this!
It could be a great place to tell stories...
Take part in an egg and spoon race!...You could even organise your own sports day!
Potato printing patterns! Think about what colours and shapes you can use to create your pattern. Sponges and other hard vegetables can be great for printing in different shapes too!
Make a fairy potion! Remember to check with your grown ups what you can put into it! You could even have a go at writing your fairy recipe down!
I have been hearing more and more birds singing every day! Could you make a bird feeder to put in your garden or outside your window?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/makes/bird-feeder
I wonder if you get any little visitors! Maybe you could find out what they are called and have a go at drawing them?
Make a nature book! Could you fill each page with something you can see in your garden or out of your window?
This week I have seen blossom, birds and a bumblebee!
You could have a go at labelling your picture and if you want an extra challenge write a fact about each thing you have seen! This could be a project to work on over the week.
Easter Activities!
We hope that you are all staying safe and enjoying each other's company. Below you will find a selection of Easter and spring activities to have a go at at your own leisure.
Enjoy!
Could you make a fairy garden?
Could you dissect a flower to discover all of it's different parts?
Could you make a blossom tree picture? You could use broccoli to make it like this one!
Making transient art Easter egg patterns!
Painting flowers using forks! Or maybe you could use something else that is not a paint brush?
Could you do an observational drawing of a Daffodil or other flower/plant? Like we practised in the Atelier at school!
Go on a bug hunt in the garden! You could make a bug hunt for someone in your family. What can they find?
Making chocolate nests! There are lots of recipes online, but here is one suggestion:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/eastereggnests_93841
Making Easter or spring bunting for your house!
Make a self portrait using natural materials!
Make an Easter card for someone in your family. Is there someone you can't see at the moment? Maybe you could make them a card and write them a special message inside?
Below you will find a link to even more ideas for learning at home!
