Reception Visits
It has been a very exciting week in Reception. As part of their ‘Superheroes’ topic, they were visited by real life superheroes who help us. The classes were visited by the police and the fire brigade. The children had lots of interesting questions to ask and even got to have a turn spraying the water on the fire engine and operating the lights. What a memorable experience!

Well done to Elliot in Green Class. Elliot has been awarded a Blue Peter Eco Badge for his work on recycling. He has also been learning about sea turtles. Elliot was so inspired by his teacher that he recommended that Mrs Dutton should give a talk for Blue Peter.

Ted took kindness to a whole new level with his wonderful card. Ted – you’ve made my day! Emilia in Hawthorn wowed me with her persusasive letter about the conservation of tigers! She used emotive language and rehtorical questions to capture the reader. Great work, Emilia! Ilyas in Hawthorn has drawn the most amazing tiger as part of an advert against the killing of tigers!
