The Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year)

The children enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year. &nbsp;They learnt about the race of the animals and how this led each year being the year of one of the 12 animals. &nbsp;This year is the year of the snake and the children found out that they were born in either the year of the pig or the year of the rat. &nbsp;Our home corners became restaurants serving well known Chinese dishes, the children tried using chop sticks to move rice from one bowl to another and they wrote numerals in Mandarin.&nbsp;

School of Noise

On Friday 13th January, Oliver from School of Noise delivered a fun and engaging workshop about sound. &nbsp; &nbsp;The children learnt about the science of sound, played on unusual instruments such as a theremin, conducted an &nbsp;orchestra of fruit and vegetables, used vibration to &nbsp;create patterns in sand using &nbsp;the &nbsp;Chladni plates and watched how a tuning fork vibrates.

T4W - Mrs Gumpy&rsquo;s Outing

To start our new text, the children received a message in a bottle from Mr Gumpy. &nbsp;Mr Gumpy needed help to find his boat and the children were excited to go on a boat hunt. &nbsp;The children then wrote messages back to him, made a large boat n Forest School and used junk modelling to build boats for the teddies.

Aspirations

To start this term, we explored&nbsp;aspirations&nbsp;with an incredible day of learning and creativity. One child beautifully described it as &ldquo;our dreams&rdquo; before I could &ndash; and wow, their aspirations were truly inspiring! From vets and firefighters to astronauts, comedians, and teachers, the children&rsquo;s dreams showcased their limitless potential.

To celebrate these aspirations, we united as a whole Reception cohort to create a beautiful&nbsp;Aspiration Tree&nbsp;(a big thank you to Miss McGuire for her brilliant creativity!). Each child and grown-up decorated a leaf with their aspirations, and we hung them on the tree.

Now displayed in our corridor, the Aspiration Tree continues to grow.
