Reception
Vicky Clarke – Teacher, Anne Storey – Teaching Assistant and Gillian Buck – Teaching Assistant
In Reception we have been completing lots of tasks to try and get Miss Clark e’s pirate treasure back. We decided to make some pirate ships. First we had to test different materials to see which would be the best to be in water. We wet lots of different things and observed what happened as the water covered them. We even left some all day in special test tubes to see if they could cope with being in water for a long time. We used this knowledge to build our own pirate ships. Carefully adapting junk to create sea worthy vessels. Finally we took the ships outside to test them on the water. Most of our ships sailed and stayed upright, so we are virtually fully qualified ship engineers! #dcpseyfs #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsstem #dcpslotc #dcpsDT
It’s a little known fact that Miss Clarke used to be a pirate, before she became a teacher. She has been sharing her treasure with the children the last couple of weeks. The children in Reception were shocked to find that her twin pirate brother, and his Captain, have been in and stolen her treasure over the weekend! We have spent the day looking for clues and solving pirate tasks to try and win her treasure back! #dcpseyfs #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly
Brilliant fun
Our Reception lovelies were amazing in NUFC this week. They practised their throwing and catching skills and even had a game of ‘defend the castle’ at the end. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsPE
Ahoy me hearties! Reception are LOVING our pirate theme this half term. We have made treasure maps, painted pirate ships, created our own pirates/fairies as well as acting out stories. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore
Really good photos but not a single 1 of my son
Our fearless Reception were outstanding again today in PE. I am so impressed with their behaviour and resilience especially when using the ‘big’ apparatus. I won’t lie, my heart was in my mouth when some of our children scaled the climbing frame to the top but they were fabulous! I was quite snap happy during today’s lessons so apologies for the photo spam! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsPE #dcpsCORE
