Last weekend, Kimberley's family held a mini graduation celebration for her. What a wonderful way to mark the end of her nursery journey.

We love your graduation cap and gown, Kimberley! Congratulations! We can't wait to see you in Reception in September! 😃🎉

Holly’s theme was pirates this week. She loved making a treasure map and had loads of fun playing the captain orders game with Keira!

They both completed a cycling challenge in June. Holly completed 25 miles and Keira completed 50 miles. They loved showing off their medals! 

Wow, girls! The cycling challenge is fantastic! Well done to you both! So glad you enjoyed the pirate theme. 😍🚲

This week Eleanor has been learning 2D and 3D shapes. We have been on a shape hunt looking for different shapes and found lots of signs on a nearby building site. 
We have been learning fractions and sharing using real pizza to help. 
Eleanor loved watching a programme about Egypt and the pyramids and made her own pyramid out of cubes.
We are recapping phonics and played phonic ‘bug swat’ with a fly swat which she loves. 

Wonderful, Eleanor! 😍

Eleanor has read Sally and the Limpet and the Light Keeper's Lunch before painting her own lighthouse and Mr and Mrs Grinling  - it's enormous! She and her mummy made an ice cream stall and looked at the value of money, playing travel agents.  Eleanor used the booking forms to practise her handwriting. 

This all looks fantastic, Eleanor! You've been so busy! Thank you for sharing your lovely photos with us! 😃😍

Following on from the last lot of beach work Kimberley shared - the weather was finally nice enough to go to a beach where we had the whole place to ourselves 😀 We have also been learning about natural soap leaves we can use to wash our hands with whilst out and about and learning about the different plants and trees whilst on our walks (neither girls were fans of the smell from the masses of wild garlic!)

After watching The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch story Kimberley designed her idea of a disgusting sandwich and we made her favourite sandwich for the day which ended up being ham, cream cheese, mayonnaise and ketchup!

She has also been measuring ingredients and helping to make a Teddy shaped chocolate cake plus gluten and dairy free "penguin" chocolate bars. Her favourite part of baking is licking the spoon and bowls clean 😂

We have been looking at different shapes and she knows how to phonically sound out some of her name complete with the songs and actions. She also wanted to take part with the Ickabog drawing so described to her Dad what she thought the Ickabog looked like so he could draw it and then she coloured it in.

Wow, Kimberley! You have been busy! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us! 😍

Here's some of the work Rachel has done including her Roman leaflet she did a little time ago which we love and designed her own lockdown puzzle. She has been baking lots and enjoyed baking with a friend via a video call where they bake the same thing together each week. Last week they baked a chocolate cake and this week traditional South African Crunchies. She has also made melt in the middle chocolate lava puddings. All gluten and dairy free so everyone can enjoy them. 

The same baby house sparrow made his way back into our house for a second time. We named him Tweety and after we put him back outside again, his parents left him in the evening and he was too exhausted to fly after hurting his wing so we took him in for the night, offered him some food and a shallow dish of water. After a sleep inside our home we put him back outside for his parents at 5:30am once we heard his siblings calling and within a few hours he had flown off. He still comes back to visit, and has since hit into our windows on multiple occasion 😂

Lovely to see all your news and to hear how Tweety is doing, Rachel! Thank you for sharing with us. 😍

Last week Emily and Sophie loved reading the Reception class book of the week 'The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch'. They made sandwiches for Mr Grinling then afterwards wrote instructions how to make them. We also set a zip-wire up in the garden to get his lunch to him and made junk models of lighthouses from kitchen roll tubes and yogurt pots. 

Wow! Girls, this is fantastic! Well done and thank you for sharing with us. 😃😍

Above are Keira and Holly’s letter and postcard to their Auntie Laura who lives in Staffordshire and is a teacher. Keira really enjoyed this week's money task.

Well done, girls! This looks great! 😃

Millie wanted to share her seaside picture with you. She's worked really hard on this. She went to the beach to collect shells and sand to stick on, learnt how to make paper boats and followed a YouTube video to draw a sandcastle. We learnt all about the different sealife in her new sticker pack too.

This is wonderful, Millie! 🏖😃

Here is some of the work Kimberley has been doing. Rachel decided she wanted to join in on this weeks work with the beach theme and what she would take to the beach 😀

This looks lovely, Kimberley (and Rachel!). Hopefully, the beautiful weather will return soon and we can visit the beach for real! ☀️😍

Here is some work Rachel has done. We also had nature visit our home on Thursday when one of the baby birds which is nesting outside our home managed to get himself stuck inside our home in a vent, so after we rescued him, we fed him some water and food and kept an eye on him as his parents found him in our garden and begun to feed him. After two hours, he was strong enough to fly off with his parents. I think Rachel and Kimberley would have been more than happy to have kept him!

Wonderful photos, Rachel! Thank you for sharing with us and well done for caring for the baby bird so well. 🐦😍

Another busy week for Eleanor this week we have read Jack and the beanstalk and done lots of activities around that theme. 
Eleanor is growing sunflowers and hopes they grow as big as a beanstalk.
Eleanor has been learning to count from 10 to 20. 

This all looks wonderful, Eleanor! You certainly deserve that superstar award!! Well done!😃 🌟

The week before half term Eleanor learnt all about the body and how it works.
Eleanor loved building the skeleton and seeing the bones especially the arm as she broke her elbow 2 years ago so she was fascinated seeing how it will have mended. 
We walked from our house to the school gates and counted the steps it takes. It takes 541 Eleanor sized steps from our front door. 
Eleanor loved watching Mrs Holden reading the stories on the school website as well.

Wow, Eleanor! You have been a busy bee! 🐝😍 Fantastic!

For today's French, Theo chose to find the names of different fruit in French. He liked the French for pineapple the most. 😃🇫🇷

Ananas is a really cool word, isn't it?! Bravo, Theo!

Ethan has enjoyed helping with the BBQ, where we made sausage sandwiches for lunch. Once we had made our sandwiches Ethan was able to complete the written aspect of his homework (how to make a sandwich).

Looks fantastic, Ethan! Bon appétit! 😃

Here are some photos of what Alice and I have been up to. 
We made a lasagne from Mummy’s instructions, we have been crafting animals, celebrating VE Day and making fruit kebabs. We also did an alphabet scavenger hunt and and made a positivity box to fill with things we are good at and thankful for. 

These activities all look so lovely, Spencer and Alice!😍 Those chef hats look amazing on you both! 👍 Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful photos with us! 😃

Dexter has been extremely busy in recent weeks!

He made a maths game: move your space if you land on heads using a coin, get your sum correct and collect a jigsaw piece. First to get all pieces and land on finish is the winner! 😃

For his European leaflet, Dexter chose three places he hasn’t been to, but we would all like to visit hopefully one day.

When has written the recipe and method for a delicious-looking Victoria sponge, and then only had help with the oven! He did an amazing job and it was very tasty! (We're envious, Dexter😉).

He has made an aerial view map of our walk...and key for the map, as well as a graph...hmmmm using skittles! Giant ones! 

Measuring ....I’ve grown! My uniform may not fit me when I come back to school 🙈

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely activities with us, Dexter! We love them! 😍

Juliet has been a reading star since school closed. She is on page 467 of the Magic Faraway Tree collection by Enid Blyton, she absolutely loves the story and we keep looking for the tree when we go on walks, but watching out in case Moonface let’s down the rope and it hits us, or Dame Washalot does her washing and throws the water on us, she loves soaking people, she soaked the angry pixie at least 4 times! She has such a wonderful imagination.

Attached is a photo of where she is up to.

This is fabulous, Juliet!! What a superstar you are! Thanks so much for sharing with us. 

Eleanor asked to do some experiments this weekend. We have had lots of fun making volcanoes with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, seeing how high Coke shot out of a bottle once mentos were added. We made a cloud with shaving foam and timed how long the rain (food colouring) took to fall through and then made dancing men with dry wipe markers and water. 

Eleanor, we love the dancing men idea!
