Last week was a busy week in Reception! To start, we continued our topic of celebrations with a focus on birthdays and through this, launched our new and exciting 'Drawing Club'. The aim of drawing club is to develop children's communication, mark making skills and love for reading and writing. To tie in with our theme, we used the story Happy Birthday to You by Dr Seuss and let our imagination run wild! Take a look at some of our work so far! At lunch times we have also ventured out to the BIG playground and it has been so much fun! We have been climbing, digging, going down the slide and also seeing our friends in other year groups!

Year 5 are studying 'Doodlers' in DT. A Doodler is an electrical device that uses a motor to generate a wobbly offset spin, which then scribbles jagged circles and patterns. The wobble is due to the counterweight (in our design, a hot melt glue stick) placed on the motor's axle, causing the motor to spin off centre. We had great fun adding feathers, pipe cleaners, embellishments to them too! It was so enjoyable once we connected the wires and watched it jiggle and spin on the paper.

An excellent opportunity for all parents and carers that are looking to support children with literacy difficulties. Workshop will be held at Aragon School on Monday evening- no booking required, we look forward to seeing lots of you there!
